Hey gang:
I'm not in a very good mood as I write this.I talked to my friend again today(the one who's in the power chair).His wife is in the Hammot Medical Center.She was having chest pains.She will be coming home tommorrow,then its a 'wait and see/watch and treat scenario.She was going to be the one to drive to the Chautauqua Institution performance in July.It looks as if thats not going to happen
now.My BF said he he would try to request a personal day off for it.
But if he can't get it,I'll have to miss out.

I'm not mad at my friend/his wife.I know its not her fault she got sick.But why does this keep happening to me?! Every time I get close to getting something I really want(i.e.-a dream come true)WHAM! Something always seems to happen so that the whole thing falls apart! Keep in mind that this was probably my one and only chance, ever, to see THE MAN.Gordy doesn't come to this area very often(I think the last time was about 5 years ago).In addition,keep in mind that Gord is almost 70 years old. Who knows how much longer he'll continue to perform,or for that matter be with us on the earth?

If anyone is going to the Chautauqua Institution performance in July,PLEASE let me know.I desperately need help!
