Thank you. You are not alone. The good news is that you rediscovered what makes you happy, brings you peace. You have a vehicle out. If your cup is full, ......

I FINALLY got a taste of some live GD-esque music this weekend. It felt really, really, really, really, really, really, really bleeping excellent to be back in the saddle - even if the musicianship was a far cry from DSO's collective chops. It was also really, really, really, really, really, really great to meet some new friends and dance the night away! Like a breath of the freshest air there is... I know I should be grateful to be alive with a healthy immediate family and a job BUT this last year has been so very tough on me - on all of us I'm sure. Innocence lost, love lost, family lost, lost family, respite lost. It all makes me so sad that it's hard to get up in the morning to face the day. Sorrow used to be an occasional visitor in my life but now it's moved into our spare bedroom and often takes over for days and days at a time. Grief is a very strange animal - I wish it would just go. People tell me I need to let it run it's course but it often feels like touching a hot stove. When it's not burning me, it feels like being alone in a boat that's sinking during a rainstorm - in the middle of the ocean. I guess I have to hurt in order to heal, right? Sorry for the therapy blog - if I keep it in, it literally eats me alive from the inside out. LIVE music won't be the sole reason that I make it through the maze I'm in but I'm certain it will help me reach a more comfortable place/perspective. It was really nice to smile again and to leave my trials and tribulations alone - even for just a couple hours. I'm looking forward to the peace that this music can bring me and sharing that joy with some amazing people.

Watch out for those Sunday shows. I just got my gold ticket for Sunday show. Come on, Baby, let the good times roll !!!

I could see us making this. Planning shows is tough right now. My mom situation is worsening. If I go to the East Coast and do things other than visit with mom especially go see music, my other siblings and family members have feelings about it. And maybe they should. I have feelings about it to that’s why I need this music to carry me through. I will most likely see you there but can’t commit right now.

"I am not a Dude, I am a New Jersey State Police Officer" Plus the 1st song escorted walk out at Further in Atlantic City----Vic---I am not getting any closer as you!!

Just bought third night. This is perfect and what I wished for. Things happen when you want them enough. Great venue-----hopefully in a good gold section. The sections can be very odd. Some gold are not as good as bronze or silver. I know, seems odd, but its how they park you!! Rude, you do not have a kid, you have a baby!!! But, are we not all babies one way or another. Safe travels for you and your family!! Look forward to another three day release!!! Super excited about the drive in. Learned a lot from last run!! Edit, I purchased a gold tic earlier today through ticketmaster---i believe....Checked email this evening to confirm tic.....no email. Checked website, as for some reason I can not go through DSO website, and tics for sunday night go on sale the 12th? Do I need any more strange in my life? Conspiracy in my crazy world. Or maybe I am crazy. I prefer the former. Hoping I did not buy two nights for saturday.
