A Poem from Era for Mother’s Day
Dear Mommy
Thank you for giving birth to me.
For letting your arm blow up like a balloon for me.
For letting me drink your milk for months and months and months even though I only take it the hard way.
Thank you for driving me to all those doctors in parts of town where lots of people like parking.
And for lying on an ironing board for me.
And for tapping your toes with incense.
Tap tap tap.
Thank you for reading to me then stopping reading to me when I’d rather just flip pages.
Thank you for finding me Lauryn.
And for letting me listen to Gracie and Imogen Heap and not just Raffi.
Thanks for taking me on a plane.
And showing me the ocean.
And being strong enough to let me cry it out in bed.
It’s good for me I promise.
Thanks for caring for not one but two babies
Me and daddy.
At least he makes us laugh!
Thank you mommy for painting my room with pretty flowers.
And getting teary eyed at my baby pictures.
And funding my 529.
Thanks for rocking me.
Thanks for changing me.
Thanks for being my mommy.
That’s why I said your name first.
Love Era

Tessa and I wrote a song about our dog. He died over a year ago. We wanted to capture an honest portrait of our one-eyed senior rescue dog and I think we did it.
We talk about him like he’s still here every day. But mostly we laugh about him. Love you boy. This is Uno’s Song.

Hey everyone, I’ve got some exciting news. @instagrahamdouglas and I have started a company! It’s called @gus.biz . We’ve been jamming on some fun projects over the past year and figured it was finally time to say hello. Smash that follow button💥 More stuff coming soon! 😎
This weekend, my oldest friend @jeffdragan and I are gonna get onstage and completely improvise a performance together (weather permitting 🤞). It’ll be a challenge, hopefully not a disaster, and a new milestone in our 20 year history of making music together. Here’s a few clips from a lil vibe we were catching this past Thanksgiving (pre-turkey) #Jamuary2020
