I can't believe the month is almost over. Flipping through my DayTimer shows there's only a few more days left, then we're on to February already. But travel season is just getting under way. Chris is scheduled to perform at the MusiCares Tribute to James Taylor in a week and a half and right now he's in the studio at Garth's practicing different song choices. Some times the producers of these shows assign the songs, but other times like now, the artists get to make the choice on their own. That alone is enough to give Chris a headache. He's been going through sheet music for days now.

You'd think he'd just pick his fave James Taylor tune and that's that. Right? Not so easy. There's been a flurry of phone calls back and forth between him and some of the other participating artists. I think he's got his choices narrowed down to about a half dozen but he still has to pick out the one he's going to do.

This morning he asked if I was planning to go with him and I had to bite my lip to prevent myself from instantly snapping no just to annoy him. But the more I think about it..... Impulsively I grab the phone and dial Joe's cell phone.

Only one way to find out if the other man in my life would have a fit if I pulled the kids out of school for a couple days. Call it a test or whatever you want to, but I really am curious to see if Chris will mind bringing the whole family along with him to California this time.
