I forgot to tell y'all about Garth. He was amazing. I think that his talent lies in his ability to make you believe that he loves doing what he's doing as much as you love watching him do it. Three nights into a week and half of shows, and this almost fifty-year-old man is running around the stage, sweating buckets of water, singing his voice out just for you. That's how I felt anyway.
At the end of the show, for the second encore, he did what he called "house-keeping" and played some of the songs that people were holding up signs for. Most of these were either older or more obscure songs. He didn't really play any of my secret favorites, but I saw signs for two or three of my favorite songs. So even though he didn't play any of the unexpected ones that I was hoping to hear, there was something just as special about seeing signs for "When There's No One Around," and "Learning To Live Again," and "You Move Me." Cheesy as it may be, just knowing that one other person loved that song as much as I do, that that is the one song they would choose if they were asked, it made the night almost as moving as if he had played them.

Flood
We had one. Pretty epic. It's way worse than even I realized that it was. I took a whore-bath today in my efforts to conserve water. They are surprisingly refreshing!
I wish I had lots of facts for all of you non-Nashvillians to inform you about our recent hardships, but I don't. I do know that the damage wasn't spread evenly. Some parts of town look completely normal and other parts are still underwater.
Thankfully my home is fine and everyone that I know is safe, but that's not the case for many. This guy sums it up nicely:
Almost all of the bloggers in my blog roll have addressed the issue much more eloquently than I have here. I urge you to check out And Another Thing and The Blonde Mule in particular.
My office organized volunteer activities for tomorrow afternoon, so I think that that's when it's really going to hit home. I'm glad to be able to do something.
