Just Not Enough Hours
All these wonderful things happening that I want to be involved in ( in which I want to be involved?), and they are occupying the same time frame, but not the same location! Case in point: a popular Christian radio personality who has a weekly radio program counseling teens is going to be in our area for a fund-raising dinner tomorrow night. I am a supporter of his ministry and was really looking forward to meeting him. But: a family-oriented issue takes precedence, and I am going to be spending the evening with my fireball grandson while his parents attend back-to-school night for my granddaughter. She is actually my step-granddaughter, but we sure don’t think of her that way. She is a gutsy young lady who is coming into her own; one of those people you can watch blossom and be in awe of her intellect and developing poise. Evan is always fun, if a bit exhausting, so the time with him will be very special. I was hoping to get together with the radio personality maybe for breakfast the next day, but apparently that isn’t going to happen either. Oh, well……
Well, now I got another one. A well-known Christian performer is coming to our area in November with his band, a member of which has a Xanga page to which I subscribe and who is kind of, sort of, in a way,. a cyber-friend. (Check out “sites I read”.) I am doing some volunteer work for a local radio statiion at the concert. I hope to get a chance to say hi in person, unless she runs screaming from the building! I’m a scary old guy! What happens on the same day at the same time, 80 miles away? My buddy Crazy Joe Tritschler and guitar wizard Deke Dickerson are doing a show in Glenside, PA. These are guys I met in Memphis and will probably not see again until next May in Green Bay! It’s gonna be a dynamite show! Deke is one of the world’s nicest guys. These guys are great musicians and I would sure like to be there. check out www.dekedickerson.com)
Well, the Christian performer wins ( his initals are MWS) and Evan gets his grandfather for an evening. Tomorrow is another day (with probably more scheduling conflicts!)
