Meeting an 'Idol'

And I don't mean 'American' Idol.

There are moments in your life that you know you will never forget. Life can be so cool that way. I cannot believe that I had the chance to meet the founder of one of my all time favorite bands last month. I have been drivelling on and on about this because I am such a fan and I respect this guy so much! I'll try to post a picture of us (at my store) a little later.

Whoops....I forgot to mention his name! This is me being so darned giddy about meeting him. So who did I get to meet? Walt Parazaider, the founder of the rock band Chicago came to my store to try out some saxophones. Remember the flute solo in 'Colour My World'? That's Walt!!!!

He (and his wife Jacklyn) are two of the loveliest people I have ever met. I feel very lucky to have met them!

Some people do choose to celebrate the end of a marriage too. ;-) Yet we remember those very important dates when something or someone ends. The date we lose someone really important or an institution like marriage. Actually.... the true date of my divorce of my first marriage (which I know was in October) escapes me because it was a long time ago. Not that it wasn't traumatic or unimportant because it was. It's just I've moved on (as has my ex) so that date doesn't hold a grip over me. The death of a loved one (related or not) is always t
