In the spring of 1996 I took Shey out of school for a week to go on the road with the ABB. It was a great experience for her. She was surrounded by wonderful people, heard great music and traveled through a lot of beautiful country.
When the week was over, she was sad to be going home. Especially when Woody asked why we had to. Couldn't we just stay? Shey looked at me with hopeful eyes, but I said "No. We need to get you back to school."
"But, Mom, can't you just write me a note?"
"No."
Then Woody jumped in. "I'll write you a note, Sheyenne". And he did. It read, "Now dig this, Teach', consider it a field trip".

Great story, shoulda listened to Woody!
