My blogs seem to have a theme, so why change it now. Here is my top ten list of What Clay made Me Do in 2006:
- Clay made me retire in April after 30 years in the workforce so I could be free to travel everywhere he would be touring ...
Of course he only did one tour at the end of the year when I was otherwise occupied and couldn't travel!
- Clay made me buy a second home in Jacksonville, Florida so I would be able to accommodate out of town friends who were following Clay everywhere he would be touring...
Of course my sleep sofa didn't arrive until the day after the Jacksonville concert
so anyone who wanted to stay over had to sleep on the floor! But wait until his next tour...
- Clay is making me contemplate purchasing more homes in the other corners of the country so I'd have a jumping off point to follow Clay everywhere he would be touring ..
This idea not only gave my accountant a heart attack, but had my kids consulting the yellow pages for a therapist.
- Clay has made me smile, giggle, jump for joy, groan, moan, cringe, tingle, desolve into
tears, laugh like a lunatic and act like a kid...
All of which made me happy to be alive!
- Clay made me traipse all over Connecticut looking for a Walmart that sold AIW...
None to be found... but a dear Clay fan bought extra and mailed one to me.
- Clay made me stay up way passed my bedtime attending a wonderful CD party somewhere in the heart of Connecticut and had me driving home at 2am in the morning with my car CD player blasting away on the Merritt Parkway...
Passed only one patrol car on that dark and winding parkway... Got home safe and
Exceedingly happy and slept with a smile on my face in my Clay tee shirt that I won at the party
- Clay made me buy multiple copies of ATDW
And then ...
- Clay made me become an ITunes user and download customer allowing me to download and burn the same tracks, plus one special track - Lover All Alone
That track made me very sad but incredibly hopeful..
- Clay made me connect with new Clay fan/friends from all across the world thru chats,
cellstreams, blogs, message boards, concerts, luncheons, dinners and parties...
All of which enriched my life immensely
- Clay made me feel both sorrow and joy for humanity …
And I thought I couldn't be surprised at the cruelty in the world anymore or be
amazed and inspired by the courage and grace exhibited by those under attack
Clay made me do all of the above and for that I will be forever grateful .
Thank you Clay and all my friends - I care about you very much - you bring me such joy... We are truly one very big amazing global family.
