Hearing Judy Collins sing, tell jokes, and reminisce about the years she spent surrounded by other iconic folk singers was just wonderful. It felt like we were all in her living room, just listening, laughing, and sighing along-- the audience sang with her at times, talked with her at times, and in general, we felt held. Held by the music, by her kindness, by her humor-- very much needed in these turbulent times. It's easy to forget our common humanity in the face of so much ugliness, but Judy brought us back to our Selves, back to what makes us funny and fragile beings. At 86 years of age, she is not really slowing down much, although it is clear that she knows her energy well. Instead of trying to impress, she just wanted to engage with the audience.

These next few weeks are jam-packed; I'm in the process of trying to fit things in that are not "to-do" and more "want to do" but we'll see. Holly didn't get to see Santa last Friday, so we'll try it this Sunday at the bookstore; there will be a story time involved. I hope we can. I'd love to take her to the Colonial Theatre to see the Muppets Christmas Carol on the big screen, but that's a possible, not likely, thing for Saturday. She has basketball at 9am, but we'll see how the day goes. Somewhere in the next week or so, we'll get a tree. I don't know that it'...
