Saw The Police in Dallas last week… AMAZING! And yes, Sting is definitely one of the sexiest fathers out there! Fiction Plane is a great band, big sound from a 3-man group – can see where Joe gets his talent from!

Joe went to my old summer camp…he was a counselor there when I was a camper. We had performance days and he taught music classes but he had time off and so he played soccer with my little brother who was quite little at the time
I think he might have gone out with my friend’s sister at one point…

I am so disappointed in Sting and his wife for firing their pregnant chef. For two people who seem to be socially aware and have quite a few children, their behavior seems pretty hypocritical.

“Saw The Police in Dallas last week… AMAZING!”
Did you really?? I am SO jealous! They’re coming to Fenway Park for a concert later this month, and tickets have been completely impossible to get for months. Sting is one of my favorite singers, and based on The Police’s performance at the Grammys, I’d love to see them live.
But what’s this about firing the pregnant chef? I didn’t hear anything about that, and it sounds a little strange if the only reason she was fired was her pregnancy.
