Why could this be? There are several reasons. The first one could be that e-mail I got from the "List of Torture" the other day. I had opened it hopefully. Maybe it contained an exact release date for Unbreakable! Perhaps Ralph had changed his mind and decided to remain with the band. Failing that, perhaps it was announcing that the official site had been updated with info on the dreaded new bass player whose name I cannot remember. None of this was what awaited me in my inbox. Oh, no! It was an announcement of the first concert of the Unbreakable tour. June 4, 2004...You guessed it! In Germany!!! ARRRGH! Not surprising, but really, Wolfgang my dear, this is the English mailing list! Contrary to what some people believe, most Americans are not rich. I most certainly am not. As much as I would love to be there for that concert on June 4, I just do not have the financial means to get there. When you have some info on American tour dates, preferably on the east coast, mail me. All of that is depressing enough, but it is not the main reason for my depression. The real reason is that I now am mother to an adult child! (Nice little oxymoron, isn't it?) Yes, now he not only looms over me from a foot above. He can vote, buy cigarettes, get drafted, everything but buy himself a beer! Say it ain't so! My baby cannot really be a grown man.
