tickets for the last pre-Broadway performance of American Utopia,
a reasonable parking space in Boston,
sushi at our favorite sushi restaurant,
time at a Halloween pop-up store near the theater, and
the chance to witness and enjoy an incredible show with amazing musicians in a miraculous theater.
Every day that I took each of these previously unshared photos was a miracle.
Every one of those photos is a miracle.
Every moment of American Utopiawas a miracle, including “Every Day is a Miracle.” Here‘s a miraculously clear recording of a 2018 performance of that song in Houston.
Every comment you leave is a miracle, for me.
Thanks to all who make my every day a miracle, including YOU.
I’m working on a new original song, called “Spoiler Alert!”
Spoiler alert! If you don’t want to know any of the lyrics before I finish writing “Spoiler Alert!” please leave this post immediately or scroll down rapidly past this following section:
Spoiler Alert!
by Ann Koplow
I hear a lot of people avoiding spoilers,
They want to be surprised, their future disguised, they’ve said.
Those who reveal what’s coming for real are annoyers.
They don’t want to know, so please do not show what’s ahead.
I’m going to say I’ll be giving away future happenings.
If that’s your pet peeve, you have the option to leave any time.
Spoiler alert!
You’ll encounter things that definitely will hurt.
You’ll be afraid of losing your shirt.
Some foolish words you’re going to blurt.
Spoiler alert!
Nice people will sometimes be curt.
Someone you love will treat you like dirt.
You’ll eat too much of a fattening dessert.
You may have encountered some of these spoilers already.
Since that’s probably the case, I’ll continue my pace to reveal
Future things to occur, I’m reasonably sure and steady,
More spoiler alerts — not all of them hurts — now coming your way.
Spoiler alert! I want to finish that song before the first Friday in September, when I’ll be singing at my usual Open Mic in Arlington, Massachusetts. If I don’t make it, here’s another spoiler: I’ll be alert enough to sing another one of my original songs.
Spoiler alert! One of my photos from yesterday inspired one of those lines in “Spoiler Alert.” Are you alert enough to find it?
