I know
I always say this, but it's true - the show goes by much too quickly, and
before I knew it they had sung "Come Sail Away" and left the stage.
When they came back, this is when they have all their presents with them -
drum sticks, towels, beach balls, etc. I was watching JY (surprise) and he
came back out onstage with a towel. He blotted his face with it, walked over
to where I was, and then bent down and handed it to me with a big smile. The
smile floored me as much as the towel! The people on each side of me barely
even tried to reach for the towel, because he was plainly handing it to me,
and in fact didn't let go of it until I had it. I thought that was a really
sweet thing to do - I promise you no one there that night would have been
happier to get it than I was! I just hope I remembered to say thank you; I
think I did! If not - thanks JY!
At some
point during the show, I looked over more toward where Tommy's mike was, and
saw that Linda, Edith and Karen had made it up to the front of the stage over
there. I never doubted that they would! At the end of the night, Linda got to
hand her flowers up to Tommy as he walked by high-fiving people. He took them
but then wanted his hands free, so he stuck the flowers down into the top of
his pants! Sorry I didn't get a picture, Linda, but I witnessed that! Karen
ended up with a couple of picks, and she told me later that her son got one of
the beach balls!
