Husband in one
My husband is my hero, not just because he once fought off two sharks while diving with a spear, but mainly because he’s brave enough to dive deeply into my delicately complicated heart.

Something Saturday: And then I fall into a pit of envy…
So, I was having a hard time falling asleep Thursday night. And I started thinking about the loop pedals that people like KT Tunstall use in their live performances, where they record layer over layer of vocals, guitar, and percussion stuff, then play it all as a song. And I thought if I did that (yeah right), I’d wanna have a number of pedals and do a chorusy section and a verse section and whatever and play them in and out of each other. Flipping some on and flipping some off in different parts of the song, like a one-woman-band.
The next morning, for some apparently telepathic reason, Tam sent me this video, and I realized I didn’t stand a snowball’s chance in Georgia of pulling off what I’d envisioned:
