Laidback Friday Nights…
Last night, my friend Maria and I went to a concert in the Fine Arts Center. I was so excited—the artist was Lizz Wright, a jazz singer, and I love jazz! It was a simple, intimate evening: just the singer, pianist, guitarist, and percussionist in front of a black curtain. The audience was fairly small and sat close to the stage, so it felt more relaxed. And Lizz Wright has a deep, strong voice and poetic lyrics. It was great. Maria and I got coffee afterwards from the Fish House and went back to her apartment to talk. It was one of those perfect, laidback Friday nights.
And then today. Today feels like spring. This sounds crazy, because there are piles of snow around the parking lot and it’s forty degrees out, but with the sun and blue sky and a noisy bird… I’m reaching for my flip-flops. –jl
