okay okay
I haven't posted in awhile because I've been crazy busy!!! But I have had lots to say...so here goes:
1. Went to Barry Manilow last week. I was one of the youngest ones there. My friend ticked off the old people in front of us because she was screaming like a madman. He played ALL of the old hits. But the thing that cracked me up the most was that he played three MEDLEYS. I didn't know that anyone did medleys anymore!
2. Seeing Mt. St. Helens going nutso brings back memories of being in the 3rd grade, standing out on the lawn in back of our house in Nine Mile Falls, WA on May 18, 1980, the day before my mom's birthday. At about 3PM I was staring at the sun. The sky was a thick gray color. The sun was blue. Then the ash started falling and we ran inside and watched out the windows for hours as an inch or more of the strange gray powder fell like snow. My father was trapped in Montana unable to get back to us. School was canceled for two weeks. We had to wear surgical masks for nearly a month. I remember when my father did make it home, we rinsed the stuff down the driveway and he got up on the roof to rinse it off. That summer we took jars of it down to my cousin Rhett in Twin Falls so he could sell bags of it to his friends for a $1. It didn't rain ash that far south.
2. MORRISSEY ROCKED on Tuesday night!! We had killer seats (until 3/4 of the way through the show when the widest guy with the fattest head decided to stand in front of us) and he was just amazing. I was SO thrilled when he played "Rubber Ring" which is my favorite Smiths song. Out of the gazillion songs off his 20 something albums (between the Smiths and his solo career), he played the ONE song that I was dying to hear. I was so so happy! And to see him do "How Soon Is Now" was wondrous...like when I heard David Byrne do "Burning Down the House." I felt blessed to be able to see it played. Silly, but true. I am a massive Morrissey addict now...
3. We went to P-Town this last weekend. Turned out it was Pet Appreciation Weekend and Leather Weekend. So we saw lots of poochies on leashes and leathermen with leashes. Never a dull moment in that town! We stayed in the most adorable little inn, The Snug Cottage. Very high recommend.
There is more rambling I could do, I'm sure, but I will save that for later this weekend...

Glad Morrissey was good! It's probably a good thing that we were out of town--if I had had tickets, he would have cancelled for sure. The man refuses to play a show I buy tickets for. :)
