I am home from Nashville. I had a great time. The city actually reminds me of KC. It has the same feel and the people are good. Don't get me wrong, it has its share of dumb shits-they seem to be distributed across the planet homogeneously. We spent one great night in a bar called the BlueBird watching some of the up and coming songwriters perform. They were all really talented although the subject matter of their songs remained true to the country motto-they were sad as hell.
I have finished taking the second round of chemo drugs. The queasiness is gone but I am feeling a bit exhausted. I am always amazed how much a drug can impact your body. I have an MRI on the twelfth and then talk to doc Taylor on the 14Th. She will do another blood test and we will see if I am ready to take on the third cycle on Sunday the 23rd.
I recorded a story for the KC MO public library dial-a-story line. It is a phone number that kids can call in and hear a story read to them. If you call 816.701.3456 before Monday the 10Th, you can hear me reading Aiden's favorite book. It was a lot of fun and the lady asked me to come back and read a new story every month in the coming year.
Now a note for the for those who enjoy bizarre musical journeys......apparently sometime in the 60's, Van Morrison wanted to get out of his contract with Bang records. This site http://blog.wfmu.org/freeform/2005/09/van_morrisons_c.html is a place where you can listen to the 31 tracks that fulfilled his obligation. My personal favorites are Ringworm and Freaky if you got this far.
I am so glad that I found your site. My boyfriend thinks that I am so weird because I am totally freaked out by the creepy BK man! I knew I wasn't the only one! He is so scary and we need to get rid of him. great site!

I called the story line. Great read! I can understand why they asked you back.

I found your site linking through various other sites. And, just happen to be in KC so I listened to you read the book. I will have my son listen to it tonight after we get home from story time at the library!
