I turned the piece of guitar Mike smashed on stage into a lamp and gave it to him for Christmas. It took a moment to remember how to wire, recalling my “light bulbs and batteries” lessons from the 4th grade. I searched the city for the perfect lampshade and a sexy little chrome on/off switch, which looked like part of the guitar. Note to self, next Christmas shop at hardware stores, there are no lines. Ever. Mike loved it. Then I opened my prize. January 16th two tickets to Madame Butterfly at the Metropolitan Opera. I loved it.
