PAUL MCCARTNEY CONCERT………  my intitial plan in buying
tickets was to have one for christina and sell the rest.  i really
wasn’t planning to go. WHAT WAS I THINKING?   singing along
to Hey Jude and Yesterday and Blackbird and Back in the USSR etc. is so
much better when you’re doing it with Paul in the room.  this guy
just really loves music and has such a gift for a song that draws you
in.  it’s so easy to underappreciate that when i hear him on the
radio or at home.  i take the gift that musicians give us for
granted until i see someone like Paul performing with such joy. 
so glad i went.

o.k.  so i’m not sure if xanga is really my generation (or maybe just not my personality), but here is my first post.

this evening mike and i went
to herman park to see it completely empty before the storm.  we
found some baby ducks with no mother. the other ducks were being brutal
to them, even trying to drown them.  after much effort, mike was
able to scoop them out of the water (my hero) and we brought them home
with us to weather the storm.  any suggestions for names?  we
thought of rita and katrina, or windy and stormy, or merry and pippin,
or click and clack.
i think we were meant to go to the park to save them.  i hope they
make it until we can get them to a real wildlife rehabber.
