Last summer when I found out Chris Trapper had agreed to headline our 2nd Annual, Life as a Zebra Foundation Benefit Concert, I asked if he would be willing to let me interview him.  He immediately agreed.  Chris has been a source of support since even before we started the foundation.  He headlined our first benefit when Allie and I really had zero clue what we were doing.  Luckily, because of many people including Chris, it ended up being a very successful night.  Chris has done different interviews for us to help promote the concerts, and therefore the foundation.  He has been nothing but kind, open, generous, and encouraging as Allie and I work to hopefully make a teeny-tiny difference in this crazy, ginormous world, for a cause that is extremely personal to both of us.  Anyways, not only am I one of Chris’s biggest fans as a singer-songwriter, but I am one of his biggest fans when it comes to Chris as a person.

I hope you are able to join us at the benefit concert on April 13 to hear Chris Trapper’s beautiful music, and watch him mesmerize the audience as the expert performer that he is. If the benefit concert is not in the cards, do yourself a favor and check out his music…and check out his tour dates.  He may be coming someplace near you.  You won’t be sorry.

The following is my interview with Chris Trapper.

Dear friends, family, supporters, and fellow zebras,

Finally.

After months, and days, and hours, and hours…and more hours of planning, we are finally ready to launch ticket sales for our 2nd Annual, “An Evening with Chris Trapper to Benefit Invisible Illness Research.”

1.  Medical Stuff:

• I had a gyno appointment on Monday.  I told Max that this was an appointment I’m sure he didn’t want to shadow and film.  He agreed.
• I saw Larry on Tuesday.  I was in major need of some OMM, or as I like to call it, “Larry magic.” He worked from my neck to my tailbone.  I felt like a different person leaving the office.

Happy New Year, friends!  See what happens when I don’t have to work?  Eight posts in two weeks…Tomorrow it’s back to figuring out how to balance it all…back to the grind.  I’m looking forward to seeing my kids, and hearing all about their breaks.

1.  Medical Stuff:

• I got my HOT, new compressions stockings and socks.  It only took me a couple of months, but my “compression collection” is now complete for the year.  Thank goodness for insurance.  Those suckers are expensive.

1.  Medical Stuff:

• 1 Day of PT.  We discussed having me take off PT during my two-week break from teaching, to see how I do on my own.  Therapy has become a form of security for me, so this makes me a little nervous…but I am willing to try.
