Just like a champagne bubble, pop pop pop
Well, Tom Waits tickets went on sale yesterday. I don’t know whether the sale lived up to the hype and pre-sale hysteria in selling out immediately or not. What I do know is that I did get tickets, thanks to the devoted efforts of my friend T, who logged on right at 10 am and had a computer fast enough to get me 2 seats right down in front. My two computers were still “searching…. searching….. searching….. ” when she told me she had the seats.
I’m very excited and satisfied to be going to the show the night before my surgery. It seems crazy but it also seems perfect. It feels like I will get a nice big dose of Who I Really Am in The Real World right before one of my biggest adventures in CancerLand. It helps make cancer feel temporary; up to now it has felt pretty permanent. But now instead of being totally lost at sea, I feel like I’m sailing within sight of land. And that is a pretty good feeling.
