Just wanted to check in for this new year. Unfortunately, because December got so hectic, I had to delete most of the Joni digests : ( waaaah. But I'm starting up again and am through I think Jan. 2. Phew!
So far 2003 is shaping up to be a great year for music. Shawn Colvin is playing here next month, and my dear, dear, darling Neil Finn (did I mention supremely talented?) is coming back to town in March. Then on the radio the other morning while on my way to work, I heard a most interesting singer/tune. I was so mesmerized, I called the radio station on my cell phone. Turns out it was Maya Sharp singing -- uh, now I can't remember the exact title -- something Witness. I had similar reactions on first hearing Jonatha Brooke and Rickie Lee Jones. I'll see if I can check out her CD. Let me know if anyone likes/dislikes her. Sometimes these people are one-hit wonders, as you well know. Oh! And my husband got me a new bedside alarm clock with a CD player and now I wake up to "I'm always runnin' behind the times ..." on work days!! Lovely! Due to the continual begging from our kids, we got a dog at the end of November who is a very nice girl (when not biting us in play and stealing my kids' beanie babies.) She's about a 1-yr.-old mix (maybe part boxer/greyhound/golden retriever) we adopted from a local shelter. Lo and behold, she has turned into mostly my dog since my husband is not that interested in the work it takes to clean up after her, walk her, etc. and the kids are, well, kids. I'm getting a lot more exercise which is a good thing (so that the box of 12 Le Petite Ecolier cookies I ate this afternoon is completely negated, calorie-wise, to my way of thinking ; ) Was so glad to hear Joni's song in "Two Weeks' Notice" -- and I happened to be wearing my JMDL shirt!! Yay! Karma, baby! Okay, that's my report so far, boring as it may be. Looking forward to a little more rest after the whirlwind Christmas season. My best to all, Lindsay
