to help plan my funeral, please do not play weepy country songs, OK? Just play one or both of the following:<\/p>\n
1) the “na na na na, hey hey hey, goodbye!” song<\/p>\n
2) the song from the Vonage commercial (the one that goes “Woohoo, woohoohoo!”)<\/p>\n
And perhaps Leonard Cohen’s song “Closing Time” just for good measure. Speaking of Leonard… guess who’s coming almost to town later this year? YES! Leonard Cohen! For real! Tickets go on sale on Thursday and I have Gene’s approval to buy the absolute best tickets our teeny tiny fun budget can afford. (Okay, fine. I’d throw in our grocery budget because…Leonard Cohen is OLD and I’ll probably never get this chance again).<\/p>\n
(And also… Steely Dan is going to be in Atlanta over Gene’s birthday weekend. That weekend, we may be going to not Atlanta to visit Gene’s best friend and his wife and their new baby, by which I mean the NEW new baby, not the one who is 17 months old. Bless their hearts. So, I would like to see Steely Dan but I’d rather hold a baby.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
