Sorry to be E&T the past few days; I've been reading HHW on my itouch when I've had a few opportunities but it's too hard to type messages on it.
My DH and i drove up to Ohio last week to visit friends and relatives. Our motivating factor was that Van Dyke Parks was on tour (for the first time ever!) and since I've never seen him perform, I couldn't miss that! My friend Susan (who dined with us and Bruce once in LA) flew over for that, and another friend from Dayton met us and we took my cousin and his wife. It was a great show; the group who opened for him, Clare (Muldaur) and the Reasons backed Van Dyke on his set. My cousin invited us to stay in the Victorian he was rehabbing in Victorian Village so we (and Susan) slept in the attic on half inflated air mattresses. But the good news was, no bed bugs! We visited my aunt the next day in her assisted living home and then zoomed down to Louisville to meet more friends and see Randy Newman with the LSO. That was a terrific concert and he hung out with us for about an hour afterwards.
I was sorry we didn't have time to detour over to see Ginny. Had we stuck with our original plans to see VDP the night before in Cincy, it would have worked, but things changed due to Greg's work schedule so we ended up just driving straight to Columbus.
After Louisville, we went to Nashville to visit old and dear friends.
Glad to be back home, and today I'm starting a job for the show THE VAMPIRE DIARIES! The guy who directed this is an old friend, I've known him since he was just a kid, so it's great to be working with him!
