Sugarland

I would have loved to see Jennifer Solo. That would be amazing. I am so jealous!!

I never say too much about these things when they come up because it's all too perfect, and-before now-private. But what the hell. An intimate setting for a solo show, two weeks before my birthday, so close I could actually drive to it...to benefit a place called "Ponder" high school? It's just flat-out ridiculous that I'm not going to this. (I blame myself, to paraphrase Kathy Griffin.) Ridiculous.(You inspire in me momentum.) I used to say "I'm no longer ert for I've lost my ertia," a quote from my favorite fairy-tale, and I'd chuckle to myself. But it aint so funny anymore. Timing is everything, it's true. And I stand by my choices, mostly because it beats the alternative. But this is a new time. Now holds a place for me. It's already happening here, but there's a quickening about it...So I will let missing this show be a lesson to me if I must...but a lesson learned. It's a little strange to be showing up for this life fully grown and, apparently, visible to the naked eye-still, I am so ready somehow. I can taste the sugar in the air, like a desert pony divining real water. I wonder if this sounds like I said anything? I will say this plainly...Ponder, dear hearts. If you do nothing else entirely for yourself, sit in a sun-warmed spot, and ponder.

I love that my son (who wants to be an Engineer and build transformers), also loves music, drawing and dancing. That's one of the reasons why our PTA works so hard to raise money for our school- we pay for the whole music and art program (it has been cut at many other schools in our area).

I spoke with the box office yesterday and they said they would be open at 4:00 for vip ticket holders. As mentioned in an earlier post, they also said they would have a list of names and with proper id you would not have any trouble getting in. See you in Denton!!

Really wish I could go! This sounds like a really awesome cause, though :)
