Mars / Venus CD Samplers
Paul has some very kind words on his blog today for the Samplers, and it made me think about how music is different to each of us, but in so many ways is one of the few universal constants.
For me it is a way to make memories, pull people together, provide support when we need strength, and to permit us to fall apart when we need to fall apart. But above all for me music is nothing if not shared, which is why I think I put the Hotel Abandon Samplers together in the first place.
I still think it's telling that neither Deb nor I ever told Julia to "Stop Talking!" as a baby, toddler, tween, etc.
It was always, "Julia, please stop singing!"
The poor child never had a chance!

The Witching Hour . . .
Kendra is asleep already, and Julia just got out of a shower so hot that the steam from the bathroom has warmed me in my chilly office.
The Britney Spears concert was wonderful fun. I think she sang one song "live" but the spectacle was unbelievable. The circus motif certainly was a lot of fun, and some of the really great moments were by the performers/dancers who filled in time between costume changes. And Julia and Kendra had a great time.
We all have busy days tomorrow. Work is wonderfully hectic right now, and more work is more job stability and is good, good, good. But tonight I'm tired. I'm going to hit the hot tub, which I'm committed to getting into at least once daily (if not twice) and then reading some old "Aquaman" comics before going to bed.....
Until tomorrow,
Love, Q!

My Beautiful Julia . . .
This is a photo after Julia's performance with the Lake Dallas DrumLine . . . . she performed Evanesence's "Bring Me To Life" and it was great. The stage was filled with drummer, and guitar players, and xylophones and it was this huge wall of sound, and Julia sang her heart out.Then tonight, she informed me at 5:00 that she was cooking pasta for some friends this evening. As is typical, this group includes Julia and Kendra and about six or seven boys. She looks so at home in the kitchen. I kept trying to help and she kept giving me that look and telling me she knew what she was doing.
The downstairs is filled with laughter, and the smell of parmesan, garlic bread, and steam. She's growing up, and she's so taking after her mother. . . .

A Dream Within A Dream . . . March 10th, 2009
I had the best dream about Debbie last night. Somehow we were back in 1994 and instead of going to Cornell for Law School, we had to choose between Ohio State and Florida State. We had decided to move to Ohio, and we were finishing up moving into a house. I was worried about starting school, whether we should have gone to Florida, and Julia was riding a tricycle in the driveway. It was sweet to see her as a little girl again. Deb was sitting on a big ornamental rock in the flower bed in front of the house, and she sat me down, straddle legged over her lap, pulled me close, and told me there was no way in Hell I was getting her down to Florida! We laughed, she told me that things were alright, and that this is where we supposed to be, and to quit worrying so much. Then she pulled me down and we had a wonderful kiss before I woke up.
