Kayso one of these years I have just got to get out to Sun Valley when Johnny performs there. The show always gets rave reviews, and I actually thought about going this year, but traveling to Sun Valley is a bit of a nightmare challenge whether you fly or drive, and every time I calculate the mileage I come out with anywhere from about 1,650 to oh say 1,800,000,000 miles depending on which way you go, which, given that there are only three roads that actually go to Sun Valley, means that if I left here to drive to Sun Valley at the same time that Johnny left to drive to JFK to fly to Sun Valley, I might still get there before his luggage.

Also I grew up in that area of the country, and I keep thinking it would be nice to take a road trip to show my kids where I grew up, and then in a brief moment of lucidity I remember actually growing up there, and then I light another candle to the Ceaselessly Corrupt Political Gods That Make Chicagoland Great and thank them that I'm really really old today all grown up and can live how and where I choose, which for me means a town with an almost infinite number of roads that lead to it, each of which has a Starbucks on every block. Where I grew up, we didn't even have a McDonald's until the year before I went to college--and by "we" I mean the people in the only other town that was less than 50 miles away, who actually had it.

Fortunately other fans were undaunted by the logistical adventure that is traveling to and from Sun Valley, and thanks to them we have a few pics and vids already! Not only did lovely Anastasia post the photos to Johnny's Facebook fan page, she also skated at the outdoor rink herself and noted, "It feels bizarre but fun to skate when it is so hot." And I'm sure there's a clever pun in there involving Johnny somehow, but... I forget...

....I'm sorry, what was I saying....?

...Why did I come into this room....?

IDK but anyway here's some photos of that skater guy.

Anastasia apologized that it's blurry, 
but I have no idea what she's talking about 
since I can't find my reading glasses.

Thank you to everyone for 

all the lovely birthday wishes already! 

And thank you to Johnny, 

who makes my world more beautiful, 

sparklier, and full of light and possibilities 

every day. ♥

This is from the Holiday Dreams on Ice VIP party. 

The wonderful contingent of Japanese fans asked for 

pictures of "Johnny with Binky-san," and he graciously agreed. 

But I always feel awkward taking up any of his time
 plus I'm really kind of shy, and so I've just whispered at him, 

"Eeeek! I'm sorry. And wow I'm so not used to this..."
as all these flashes are going off. 

And at this precise moment, he--man of a million red carpets 
and a billion photo shoots, star of silver screen and TV--

is whispering back, "I know, I'm always like 

'OMG is my hair OK....?'"
