on the good ship lemondrop
New essay up on dad's site... http://dansimmons.com/news/jane/jane.htm
Perks of the weekend, in list form:
1. Dad summoned his eccentric powers and set up a ginormous outdoor movie theater system in the backyard-- big outdoor screen, speakers, projector...mom made popcorn by the truckful. Neighbors and friends came over and we watched Jaws on blankets and lawn chairs... pretty much the best idea ever. It rained a little, which only added to the ocean freakiness. More movies to come over the summer-- if you need something different for your Saturday, join the fun... just look for the flicker of movies coming from the prairie just North of 66th.
2. Today Robin and I are meeting with a midwife to talk about international health education issues... we're hoping to find a way to expand our education beyond suburbia, and into developing countries and places where this would save lives. Many, many lives. And our fingers are crossed that we could do a little traveling and filmmaking in the process.
3. Meredith made me a lemondrop martini yesterday... it was delicious. We're having a cello party /Jameson party / taking Robert Doiseneau-style photos of ourselves in unexpected places with our cellos this afternoon... tomorrow we'll be rocking out to the sweet country goth croons of Slim Cessna & Munly at the Larimer Lounge with Laura, Beth and a few other brave soule.
4. With luck, the best live music in America will be a good way to send our Laura off to grad school at Baylor. I'm going to miss her! I'm so excited for her... but it's bittersweet when it comes to the friends you've had forever. You want to be selfish and keep them in a little tupperware wherever you go. I can't believe I've been friends with Laura since we were 12, and Mer since we were 14. And we still ended up with such similar interests and valuable friendships as grownups. What are the odds?
5. I will be tactful and fail to mention that I drank a bunch of blueberry beer and threw a pool party in the dark last week. But that was fun, too.
6. Must practice for the audition that I haven't practiced for.
7. Must leave this list immediately to be get ready for auditions / Jameson / midwives who lived in Darfur / lounging with a book / old fashioned photos / more list making...
happy weekend!
