We Saw Journey

At an outdoor venue in which, perversely enough, the best seats were the ones most exposed to the rain. But with my brand new windbreaker, I hardly noticed. Here’s a cell phone photo.

    Good thing you wore the cap. You’d be inundated with requests for autographs.

    I was never a big fan of Journey, but perhaps that is because all of my ex’s were huge Journey fans. I do know that that Filipino guy who sings for them now sounds just like Steve Perry. It’s almost scary. You just don’t expect that voice to come out of the guy at all.

    Nice jacket. It wouldn’t happen to be a Columbia jacket, would it? They make awesome gear.

    Kansas friends. But it’s not so much that they’re giants as it is that I’m short.
