They bought it for me and Mom made arrangements for me to try it on and get the fitting work and alterations done as a rush job, yesterday. It was a c...mplete surprise to me but everyone who went into town with me yesterday knew about it before we left here. I was hustled into my room to get ready right after Leland was done with us this morning. I was sworn to secrecy and it was supposed to be a surprise for you. An even bigger surprise than it was for me. Was it?" I was surprised speechless.. As you approached the end of the row of lockers, there was a shriek of "Happy Birthday Jeni", and a group of around 20 of your friends burst out from behind the lockers. Although it was not your birthday for a few days, this was not an unwelcome surprise. As you looked around at your friends, you became aware that there were some familiar faces amongst them, but not ones you had ever seen in person before. And not ones you had EVER imagined seeing in amongst your friends. Or had even thought. If I concentrated, I was able to look past the immediate past, and into a deeper layer of what had happened. When I focused on a specific layer or time, it fixed there. Don't ask me how I did it, but that's what happened. I was very excited!The most recent events were bright and shining, with the next layer a little less shining, and so on. As I looked at the energy of the past, I found that the further back I went, the darker the time layer. The end of where I could see was 1800! I could tell. I had Phil, Mandy and Jillian play through their instrumental sections several times so I could work out how to complement that with an organ solo. Eventually we got something that sounded good. We then played through the complete final set; which was all of the songs from the new album; the modifications to the arrangements that the others had worked on seemed to improve them. We started the gig right on seven; the crowd seemed to be older than the typical crowds that we would typically.
