Magic
by Shel Silverstein
"Sandra's seen a leprechaun
Eddie touched a troll
Laurie danced with witches once
Charlie found some goblins' gold
Donald heard a mermaid sing
Susy spied an elf
But all the magic I have known
I've had to make myself"

I miss you as well! Just today I heard MMJ's "One Big Holiday" and it made me think of you and Don. We will be back out on the road in the new year and we will definitely be back in Charlotte!!! I think Justin and I needed some family time...he had a baby...I got married.....but after you lay off the road for awhile, it starts making you nervous...I'm ready for more. See ya'll soon! When I get a rough of the new record, I'll email you the songs.
