Morning Minutiae
I love surprising my friends with little, unexpected things that they'll find touching, that will make them happy. The Chicklettes, for example, loved the photographs I sent to my old friend Charges. Yesterday I found another such surprise--a letter from one of my good friends who has two children, the older of whom is six, or will be six soon. She wrote the letter on March 25, 1998, when she was pregnant with the older child. She was filled with joy, talking about how much she loved it when the baby kicked and moved, the changes in her body, buying maternity clothes for the first time, picking out names, wondering if it would be a boy or girl but being sure it was a boy (she was right). I immediately made a photocopy of the letter to zip off into the mail to her. Knowing her, she'll sniffle a bit when she reads it :), and hopefully she'll read it to her son one day. I can't wait for her to get it.

Diana Krall is playing here August 11, and I can't believe I'm about to once again shell out the cash for that ticket, but the show is well worth it.

Tangential.
As much as I like the new file you posted, I can't yet justify the $50 ticket. Not much more exciting then one of your favorite acts coming through town, though.
I did check out the Northrop schedule, however, and it turns out Jerry Seinfeld is playing on my 25th, 10/16. I've never seen him, and am now really beside myself in anticipation for it. I probably wouldn't have found it w/out your mention of Krall, so thanks. ;-)

Pregnancy Memories
Wonderful idea. I once read about a woman who saved all the emails her sister sent her while pregnant and gave it in journal form as a gift since she figured her sister would forget all the details. :)
