The Good News
For my second husband, I have my eye on the sign-language interpreter for the New York City Gay Men’s Chorus. My current husband, who arranged and orchestrated their three best numbers in last night’s Lincoln Center concert, ain’t nothing to sneeze at, either. The weeklong visit of his family culminated in a whirlwind trip to New York to experience the fruits of his hard work reverberating off the walls of Avery Fisher Hall. No pun intended, Joan Rivers, and for the record, nobody there wanted to do your hair.
I love you, New York in the springtime, with your Gay Men’s Chorus concerts and your coat-check thieves and your multiple allergens. I love you, too, Rob, with your incomparable talent and your sweetness and your zany family.
And just you wait, sign-language interpreter.

That was such a fun event. It was great seeing you guys. And Rob's songs were the best.

We are pretty zany, I must admit. We are also, dare I say it, wacky. Plus, a little kooky, on my mother's side.
Sorry we brought the Wisconsin cold weather with us, though. It's just, I had all this extra room in my suitcase...
(P.S. The organic cotton T-shirt for my friend's baby was a biiiiig success.)

There's just something about seeing your spouse shine. It's hard to explain the feeling. But it's not so overwhelming as to keep one from checking out hot interpreters.

Matt Damon is NOT going to be pleased...

Hold up -- they have a position for a sign-language interpreter?
Clearly, my life up 'til this point has been misguided. You can have the interpreter, but I want his job afterward.

Crash: It was a lovely surprise to see you there. Next time, could you show up with some money for me, or a pie?
Rindy: Perhaps next time, you could fill that space with socks.
Karen: It does generate a somewhat invigorating pride, but the feeling generated by watching someone improvise a dramatic sign for the MGM Lion is also appealing.
Jwer: You're right, although he had his chance.
Logan: Well, he probably wouldn't be fit for any sort of official duty after a night with me anyhow. I don't understand your surprise, however . . . how else are deaf people supposed to enjoy a choral concert without sign language interpretation? Of course, if Rob's music hadn't been performed, I probably would have brought a book, myself.

I sat in that audience many moons ago and imagined that very same sign language interpreter as my husband. And before I knew it he was my husband. So I know the feeling and it's a good one.
