NOT tempting fate.

A little over a year ago I was just getting over the flu. I awoke to a beautiful Saturday. Eager to do two things. Ride at Double Lake, and see Yonder Mountain String Band. That fateful Saturday I rode off the side of a bridge and cracked my ribs! I still made the Yonder show! But much chemical help was necessary. And every shimmer of my tail feather hurted...

Fast forward one year to this morning...

I awoke to a beautiful Saturday; just getting over the flu. Eager to do two things. Ride at Double Lake and see Yonder Mountain String Band. As I ate breakfast and contemplated the irony of this situation... I decide to clean the house and skip the ride! I'm not superstitious but.. I saw no reason to tempt fate today. True to last year, I DID make the Yonder show, and had a blast. Saw some folks that I only seem to see at Yonder shows... No tears or screams from the hugs this go round!

A short show because of a the venue (House of Blues,ugh!). So here I am at home...listening to my first, and someways favorite Yonder show... Jan 18, 2002 at the now demolished Garden in The Heights. Thank you REE for taking me to that show! It started me on a wonderful journey!
