on the way home

I'm sitting here in Andrew Peterson's borrowed van, sharing a seat with my lovely bride, and we're driving home from a Caedmon's show tonight in Cleveland, TN. The illustrious wunderkind Aaron Sands filled in on bass tonight and did an examplary job. (He's let on that he reads my blog, and he's very smart and reads big books so I'm using big adjectives to impress him.)
The Office last night was great. That may have been the most awkward five minutes in a tv show ever. And I loved it.
Alison's folks are in town for the weekend and watched Ells today so Alison could come with us for this day show. Very kind of them. Tomorrow my brother-in-law, Clay, and I are going to work on fixing my fence. It's falling over in my backyard and is the bane of my sweet next-door neighbor, Mrs. Sharp.
I've been reading the Foundation novels by Isaac Asimov. Trip, who has played bass for Caedmon's a lot the past year and a half, told me to read it, and it's sort of ridiculous, but I'm enjoying it. i think its just nice to get away into another world a little bit sometimes.
Mark, our sound guy, is reading the Wikipedia entry about Cliff's dad, and it's almost entirely wrong and completely entirely hilarious. I don't understand that website at all, but it's very interesting.
Obviously, from my random paragraphs, I'm very tired. We're about a half an hour from Nashville now. That's good. Ten minutes from Nashville will be better.
Todd's driving and he just started playing the original version of "Afternoon Delight." Why does he have that song on his iPod?
All right, I'm going to post this and close my eyes for a bit. Thanks to those of you who came out to the show tonight. Hope you had a good time. Oh, Alison sang with me on Early in the Morning tonight, and she did great. Wish you could have been there. Sleep well, and have a great weekend.

Maybe on Tuesday you could talk Alison into joining you for Early in the Morning at the Radio Cafe?
Dangit, Andrew. Right there until the end, I was still feeling okay about staying home last night. [Not like I could have made it, as I was at work until 5 and need to go back in there in a few more hours for another fun day of proposal writing, but still.]
H. Edwin Young is one who has built up his megachurch by invoking the fire and brimstone sermons of the past. One of his famous stories involves a woman who wakes up every night at 11:34 p.m. which she knows because she glances at her digital clock as she wakes. One night her red l.e.d. digital clock is upside down as she glances at it at the usual time of 11:34 p.m. Because the clock is upside down, it spells out "hell" to her in red l.e.d.! This is a sign to her from God that she is not living the right way! This is H. Edwin Young's most famous sermon from the early 1980's. The reader can see why the powerful speaker Ed Young is held in such wide regard.
The Young family of Houston, Texas are also credited as pioneers in the explosion of modern skateboarding in the city. The family posessed in their backyard one of the earliest half-pipe skateboarding parks in the city of Houston. Skateboarders of every stripe and stench would trek from neighboring cities to enjoy the hospitality and skateboarding experience afforded to them by the Young family. The family was known for its support of misfits and outcasts, feeding them and giving them the support of Second Baptist Church.
Heh. See, the thing is that you can fix Wikipedia if you want. See something blatantly wrong? Edit it out.
Hey Andrew-
I was at the Cleveland, TN show last night. It was absolutely amazing! It was my first Caedmon's show. Thank you so much for your passion in your music. It was so evident that you really believe the things that you guys sing. Thank you so much
