August is finally here. Well, it has been here for a few days but this is the first time I have been inspired to write.

No matter how much clack I watch, I still get butterflies in my stomach thinking about seeing Clay live. I think it is because seeing him on my computer, he is one dimensional but seeing him in the flesh so to speak, he will be 3 dimensional. I guess it is the difference in seeing a movie or seeing a stage production. Somehow you are drawn in more when the singers or actors are live.

I am planning on buying the tour book and a key chain. I will just have to see what else is available to see what else I need. I also very much want to buy an Uganda necklace. I sure hope they will be for sale at the preparty.

My cat is 17 years old. I think she is starting to relive her kittenhood because lately she wants to play - which is something she hasn't done for years. The biggest problem is she wants to play but she doesn't want to be played with - so pulling her feather around so she can chase it doesn' cut it. She just lies and licks her catnip mouse instead of tossing it around like she use to. I think she has forgotten how to play. Or maybe she is like me and wants to play but forgets what she was doing about 5 minutes after she thinks about it.

My husband has decided that I am not crazy for going to Toronto. Not when he heard about the Clay fans from New Zealand and England. He is just happy Clay is from the US and not European. He is not convinced that any artist is worth the time, effort and money I am spending to see Clay but he does realize it could be worse.

Today is the day I go get my teeth cleaned. Not exactly looking forward to it but better a little discomfort now than pain down the line.
