The most special calendar dates from the Voice Over girl

I have this tradition I do on New Years Eve: First and foremost I transfer birthdays to the new upcoming year calendar and then I spend allot of time reading each months activities of the year that is closing out. There are events, some very huge and some as small as meeting a long time ago friend at a local coffee shop, that I actually transfer to the new calendar. It is usually something like : "1 year ago met LeeLa for coffee", or "2 years ago saw Hall and Oates", "3 years ago booked VO at Fantasy Recording" and of course I will always transfer "x years ago last drop of chemo in my system". That one is always a good one, and by the way I am only 2 months away from that entry I can joyfully look at! I can't wait to see that day again. With the activity entry extreme from a 'small coffee chat meet up' to 'the last drop of chemo', I carry over and over and over and over(!)again: "met Boz Scaggs" Anybody who knows me knows I love Boz Scaggs. Where did this infatuation begin anyway? It all happened back in the mid 70's. There was something. I couldn't put my finger on it, but that voice was butter.,those lyrics were magical, and the guy was just damn adorable. There were a few times I actually met Boz, but not the last one, the one when I had my photo with him.The entry on my calendar every year. Sometime in the late 90's, I saw Boz at Don Ramon's bar sitting alone,talking to his brother, in the city. I approached him sheepishly, did my elevator speech, exited and remained on cloud 9 for weeks. Then in 2007, attended one of his many summer Mountain Winery concerts, only to step into the Inn's elevator and have him come in after Me-I literally froze, said nothing, but jumped up and down on my hotel bed like a crazy kid in disbelief, and then a week later was invited to see him at the GAMH. My silly crazed Boz friend,scored meet n greet passes. It was my opportunity to speak...and I reminded him of being the girl in the elevator speechless, he smiled that sweet Boz grin, and said yes he remembered.There was nothing more to say and we exited again. 2010 was definitely the hardest year of my life. In the Spring I was diagnosed with uterine cancer. I dodged the chemo bullet, it was stage 1. My life was radically changed. You can bet I would celebrate that summer with a Boz concert, and I did. But in Fall of 2010, I was diagnosed with colon cancer, stage 3. I didn't dodge that chemo bullet. I was signed up for 6 months of poison. I really thought if I die it's okay: I traveled the world, I lived my dream of being on air on Radio, became a voice actor, had a beautiful son, beautiful friends, and... I met Boz. Actually my life wasn't to be over. Boz booked a concert in Napa, just a few miles from where he lives. It was a casual night and my friend Erin insisted I drive up and attend. I was very,very sick, thin, cold all the time, hair thinning, and feeling horrible with all the chemo in my blood. Erin had a special treat-she knew Monet, Boz's back up singer, and they arranged it...The show ended, and we were invited down front.Could this really be it? Yes it was....January 28, 2011,there I was in a photo with Boz. I didn't need to say anything. I said everything before, I just had my magical moment. So here in my studio office my calendar hangs and there in that square I scribbled the words "5 years ago met Boz" It's an entry that makes me forget everything else in my complicated life and makes me feel just as giddy as standing before him in a bar, an elevator, or backstage. I love January 28th, and always will.
