26. I had a friend who thought she could get last minute tickets recently

Sep 2012

To one of his speaking engagements, I knew she wouldn't be able to-- he's extremely popular in the Seattle area, but I didn't want to shatter her hopes. She expressed her disappointment later and I just sighed with her I'd love to hear him in person. I even have the version of "The Matrix" where you can watch the movie with his analysis In the background.

But I haven't read that book, I'm going get it right now. Thank you
