Chasing Dreams
Last year—shortly before we moved—I needed a diversion to the craziness of life, and decided to see what concerts were scheduled at the American Music Theater. Wynonna was in town, so I purchased a ticket to see her show. As I drove to the concert I chided myself for going. “I really should be at…
