Ah, it was crazy before last week, McGrath. Most of us just didn't know it.

And no, sadly, we didn't get to make music. We did listen to a great old-time jam while we had dinner, but none of us participated. Abby and Tinker told me a little about the music they love, and I wish we were closer so we COULD -- anyone who has studied and loved music as deeply as they have has prodigious gifts to share. Another time!

Last night, it was cool enough just to make a connection with someone that was not motivated by sorrow or fear.
