Week Off

Growing up, I lived in a neighborhood with a handful of extremely talented musicians who were constantly on tour. They would come home and then we wouldn't see them for days or even weeks at a time. I have since come to realize why they liked to be so secluded when they first came back. It hit me the other day when Parker came home after a 7 week stretch. The windows were closed, the house was dark and he didn't have any obligations to go anywhere or to do anything... he was just enjoying his moment of "hibernation."

After laying low for the first few days, we had a great week at home, relaxing, cooking, and catching up on the odds and ends that are left when we are gone for such a long period of time.

We had the chance to go to the Arizona Diamond Backs game, courtesy of my younger sister who is an intern for the team this summer. Later in the week we also went to see Paul Thorn in concert. He and his band are managed by a long time friend of ours who first introduced us to Paul's music earlier this year. He is such a great live entertainer - funny, witty, and a gifted artist. (he is the one in the Dbacks jersey)


I am hopeful that the relaxing week off gave Parker the opportunity to recharge and regain his strength and energy for the upcoming event in North Carolina!
