Last night, Michelle, Anna, and I joined Wendy and Brent, and dearest darlingest Susan (plus pigeon Sam) at the Koka Booth Amphitheatre in Cary, NC, to see the Indigo Girls. We set up our chairs under some trees at the outdoor event, and I for one enjoyed the whole night. Lots of stuff from the [...]

I have been on such a Melissa kick lately! Wow … I think she’s one of the best at the rock ballad, and my favorite is “You Can Sleep While I Drive”
You know Ive seen it before

Seriously?! I’m with Dlisted on this one … no real need to remake the movie (yet), though I feel certain the CGI will be amazing … course, the KIDS Inc video with Martika made my day …

The weekend in Atlanta was a quick one, but a fun one.  Down on Friday and back on Sunday. We stayed with Julia in midtown, at her lovely 1920’s apartment on Ponce … what a great place, hardwood floors and all. Loved it. Saturday, because DDDtM was sick, I chose to take the extra ticket [...]

I LOVE this news. UT has decided to grant Dolly Parton, country music legend and all-around amazing human being, an honorary doctorate of humane and musical letters.
“Because of her career not just as a musician and entertainer, but for her role as a cultural ambassador, philanthropist and lifelong advocate for education, it is [...]

I love me some FOTC, and I just can’t help but love what they do with Bowie in this one.
