David Olney and So Damned Much More

David Olney and spring seem to be helping. I was in a much, much better frame of mind yesterday. The air felt so wonderfully soft when I got home from work. Ernie had weeded some of the front yard and Susan had planted a bunch of plants----it made me incredibly happy. We trundled off to the 6th grade band concert and I must say it was delightful.

Owen was a little wound up beforehand.

Me: Look at the flowers in my windowbox Owen. Don't they look beautiful?

Owen: Yeah, they do. I've been thinking that this summer I really want to spend time outside drawing. Drawing my surroundings, working on perspective, drawing everything. I think it will be really good. I can tell you want to hug me. Please don't hug me. When you hug me we get off topic and I just want to talk about drawing and what I'm going to do this summer. I think drawing is really important and I want to draw what's around me. I think it's almost time to go I don't want to be late.

Me: Well, I was silent because all I wanted to do was hug him.

In other important news.....PAY UP FOR THE DAVID OLNEY AND SERGIO WEBB SHOW! It will be worth every penny and so God damned much more (sorry Debbie)! The black beans are simmering, the pork is marinating.....

Some of you probably know this song from the Emmylou Harris album, but nothing better than hearing it from the songwriter himself.

That's my boy.
