When I learned that the teenage babysitter was a no-show for my
rehearsal, I took Val to the potty and discovered the toddler room at
the church where we're playing. They had a little kitchen, which I
promptly grabbed and brought onto the stage where we rehearsed. Val
poured every snack I'd packed into that thng, but I was able to
rehearse.

She was sooo good, ate her snacks and stood next to me, sat in front of
me and on a chair behind me. I had to adjust where I held my horn to
accomodate her but it was very sweet. She also moved my music a couple
of times, just for fun. During the second half of the rehearsal, my
friend ran after her so I was able to focus more.

I can't think of a good closing, so, um, late peeps.
