Ever since they gave me a backstage pass for Nutcracker, I've felt overly powerful. My pass has a neck strap and says, "Unlimited Access." I love it, and I'm never taking it off. I can go anywhere I want! I have unlimited access. I'm going to flash my pass in stores that claim they don't have a bathroom. I'm going to use it to walk into the kitchen in slow restaurants to see where my food is. I'll wear in in a prominent place when I'm sneaking out of church during Sunday School. Well, now I don't have to sneak because I have unlimited access, and that includes the great outdoors during church. I'll never have to wait at the doctor's office. I'll just give the receptionist a smug glance as I breeze by with my pass. I can get on any airplane, any time and I never have to wait in line for anything. I'm a rock star. I might catch a flight right now to France and hang out with Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt.
When I think about all the places I could go with my backstage pass, I'm content to think that I already have unlimited access to the best things life has to offer, and I don't even need special permission. I think I'll just stay right here where all the treasure is. Where would you go if you had "unlimited access?"

Will you please mail me a copy of that pass. I need one of those. Tell Ruby and Golda that I loved the ballet they both did a great job. I am also glad to hear that Cade is not the only one that is running around crazy playing karate. I think that Clint's gradnparents wanted to kick us out of their house. They expected my 1 year old and 3 year old to sit on the coach for 2 hours and talk.
Makes me think of Wayne and Garth and their backstage passes! Let me know if you get to hang out with Alice Cooper one night...
I love it! You are a total rock star as far as we are concerned! I can only imagine the fun that was going on backstage. And as always you have great perspective!
Hmmm. There are so many restricted places I would like to go. I think you are right though.. the treasure is just where we are, but for one day I would like to visit the Supreme Court and just see how everything works. I love how Mr. Rogers used to get into all those factories that made things like tooth brushes. I would like to go see things like that.
