To the Last Daylight of 2009

last light of December 31, Park City-style

My friend, Susan, introduced us to a new tradition -- toasting the last of the daylight of the year at sunset on New Year's Eve. Someday we will be able to look back on all the challenges of 2009 and see some good from it. For now, let's look forward and do all we can to make 2010 and the unfolding decade a terrific one!

Cheers, Suzu! Love and peace to all!

A Night Under the Stars

Jackson Browne

Last night was a magical night. First, I got to help a good friend celebrate her birthday, and secondly, I got to treat my husband to an early birthday gift of his own -- a night hearing one of our favorite singer/songwriters, Jackson Browne. We took blankets, wine, cupcakes, cheeses, olives, bread and sat with about 2,200 others in Park City's Deer Valley Resort Ampitheater. Jackson ambled onstage and said a quiet hello without any fanfare and proceeded to play for the next two and a half hours without a break.

It occurred to me that concerts from my younger days would have been even more fun if we'd had the wherewithal to take a picnic and nice wines instead of warm beers and, well, not much else. Olives? Hardly.

A great night...

I'm still humming For A Dancer today.
