No Way!

I was at a friends' house tonight and the topic of beloved childhood books came up. Two of my friends are currently re-reading the whole Narnia series and were saying that it is so wondering to re submerge themselves in it.  I mentioned, of course, Ella Enchanted and Josh casually says, "Oh yeah, I read that book."

Wait: WHAT?

I was shocked. Shocked! I have never ever met a single man, ever, who has read Ella Enchanted. I think the first thing I said was, "You and I have to get married now, you know, " which of course freaked him out. 

But seriously, how crazy is that! Think over and then write a blog post about it one day, have a major reminiscing conversation about it with a guy the next. This world, man. Cray-zay.

Also, I listened to Billy Joel's For the Longest Time on the way home tonight. I remember sitting backstage my freshman year of college and listening to handsome Tom Shoemaker warm up by singing it before each Figaro performance. He sang alone and to the empty audience risers, his beautiful voice filling Lester Martin. I have loved that song ever since. My favorite line tonight was: "I don't care what consequence it brings/ I have been a fool for lesser things." Amen. 

We have all been fools for lesser things.
