Although, Heidi and I did not follow through on the conspiracy to kidnap Utah Phillips and make him pretend to be our grandpa (ok, it was her idea, I just went along--call me #1 accesory to the crime), we DID get to see him/hear him/experience his magic, along with Sally and Josh and Sadie on Saturday. I am all the better for the experience.

In these times, I so needed his hope and his rebelliousness and his wisdom to lift me.

I am, indeed, lifted.
