Sorry Michael. I tried. Perhaps it's too early or I'm not on the same wavelength... Shania's in there, so I can't even joke and say that what they have in common is that none of them are Canadian...

Morning Mystery Jukebox heroes. The turkey is in the oven, I'm just cross cutting the sprouts and glazing carrots. Kitty is in her basket looking expectantly at me every time I pass the fridge.

The best part of reading this post are the words "for now."
They offer us all hope.

Thanks Mr. Guy (and thanks Michael.) You're the main reason I migrated to Blue Sky.

Happy Christmas!

I know. But I liked the comparison to all the other things we limit or deny to teenagers. (And how we sidestepped or ignored them at 16.)

Sadly, you used the wrong tense. But I did have the opportunity to see him perform, and you're correct.
