Almost forgot that we had tix for the show and raced out at the last minute!So glad we made it there. The Old 97s played a wonderful wonderful amazing show. They played a nice number of their newest songs and lots of their older classics. The entire band with leader singer cutie patootie man Rhett had incredible energy and enthusiasm. They came back with multiple enthusiastic encores. Lots ...
My wonderful grandmother is dying, and I've been watching. Not in a morbid sense, but in the sense that I want to gather every detail I can before it's too late. I want to watch her face, look in her eyes, try to find my own face somewhere in there. I listen to her moan and mumble in her semi-coherent state, and I wonder how her voice must have sounded when she was my age. (I imagine it was ver...

I just got done with having dinner with my brother and his wife, and during the course of the evening we talked a little bit about a kid named Wyatt. Wyatt happens to be the son of one of my brothers good friends, and the story behind him is enough to make just about anyone cry. Wyatt is a 6 month ol...

Indeed, I nearly found myself lying dead at the feet of one Rhett Miller last night after he autographed my copy of Old 97's "Fight Songs" in the following manner: To Jennifer (heart) Rhett (in bottom right hand corner) CUTE ----> (that's an arrow pointing toward my name). Oh, yeah, Rhett Miller thinks I'm cute. And I think he has the dreamiest eyes. So, we're even.This happened at a meet-n-gre...
