Psst. We’re giving away three pairs of Bon Jovi tickets on MamaPop. Plus I posted a picture of Jon Bon Jovi practically naked over there, so what are you waiting for? I totally used to have this exact poster on my wall. Alas, I’ve said too much. Go win tickets. * * * * * [...]
An Open Letter to Grace Slick

Dear Grace, I remember what the doormouse said, I just have no idea what to do with that information. Love, Sarah
R.I.P. Ronnie James Dio 1942 – 2010
May 16, 2010
Ronnie James Dio lost his battle with cancer this morning. I first heard when Laurie sent me a text message. We were just talking about him yesterday when we had to explain “the goat” to my mom after Claudia kept doing this in pictures. That sucks. He was a legend. My thoughts are with his [...]
A Riddle for Which I Have No Answer
April 14, 2010

For Melissa, Lori, Elisa and Loralee it was the Mathias “Let the People Praise Thee, O God”, the piece that he wrote for Prince Charles and Lady Diana’s wedding. For everybody else it sounds like this. I’m [...]
The Audition
January 13, 2010
The audition was wonderful. The choir is amazing. I feel really good today. The chorus had us (I went with my neighbor and friend Lesley) sit through the rehearsal before the auditions. They are singing John Rutter’s “Mass of the Children” which is both beautiful and challenging. The director is this fantastic and talented woman [...]
Euterpe

For Christmas I bought Gabe one of those sets of Bose speakers that has a place to dock your iPod for the kitchen. He likes to listen to music when he cooks and our old speakers were old and crapping out. It seems like such a small thing but this new docking station charges my [...]
