An ode to Tony

Once upon a time, I was an angsty, overemotional teenager who loved watching the Mickey Mouse Club.

They were so cool, and I just knew that one day, planets would align, gods would smile, birds would chirp, and I would marry Tony Lucca. We're talking near-fan club obsession.

It was destiny.

Destiny has a sense of humor.

Because I'm leaving Friday, and on Saturday, Tony Lucca takes the stage at the Snowy Range Music Festival here in Laramie.

Good Lord, I needed to laugh like that. Does a soul good.
