“One thing kids like is to be tricked. For instance, I was going to take my little nephew to Disneyland, but instead I drove him to an old burned-out warehouse. 'Oh, no!', I said, 'Disneyland burned down.' He cried and cried, but I think that deep down he thought it was a pretty good joke. I started to drive over to the real Disneyland, but it was getting pretty late.”

I don't know what it means, but you could swap the genders in that and it would still work. Except maybe the clean house bit.

But this way it's a fairy tale/bedtime story. The other way it's just real life. Except the clean house bit.

Having my best day on http://brooklynbite.wordpress.com/ not to mention, I have had a steady run of consistent reads. I can't believe I started a blog, talk about late to the party. It has been fun though.

Reminds me of the time years ago when I went to a garden party with my friend Lucy, and she stepped backwards and nearly squashed the Queen Mother - who was a tiny woman.
But I wasn't dressed quite like that.

I was excited by the tour too... until I saw that, in Seattle, he's playing at a 17,000 seat arena.

I've been to two of his concerts in Austin. The first was outdoors, about 20 years ago. Maybe 200 people. Very intimate. The second time was the last tour, also in Austin. Lot of people in a concert hall. It was very cool because I had an amazing seat (I was moved up front, to mezzanine seating when the venue realized that my real seat was a handicapped space.)
This time, I don't care where I sit. To bask in the aura of Leonard is enough for me. I'll bring binoculars if necessary. God, the man is nearly 80. Bless him.
