William's in Town

Our son was in town touring with the big group but was exhausted. We were to go to the concert last week but he was just stressed and not up to our visit. The night before, they were the guest stars on a late night TV show, flew to our city late and had to be ready for set up and sound checks the next morning.

After talking with him, they had been working straight for weeks and getting very little sleep. He said after they got back to the hotels after concerts, calmed down, fell asleep by 3:00AM, it was awfully difficult to have a 6:00AM call in the hotel lobby. Do that for several weeks and people begin to get sick.

From here, he will be home for two weeks. He plans to sleep for a week. After that break, they head to Europe for over a month. Hopefully, the tour manager has figured out that three hours of sleep each night for the crew is not the best thing for anyone. Hopefully.

This is going to be a tough year for us. He will be on four continents. He will be very busy. We probably won’t see him in person until Christmas. But, maybe he will be able to fly down for a short visit. Tomorrow's blog is the beginning of plans for that trip. I am planning an amazing dinner of small plates. What a dinner that will be! Cooking for him, taking care of him for just a day or two is one of the very best things in life for me.
