#14 Over the Hump
Honorable Mention
[originally posted May 2005]
The guest of honor had her songs all picked out. She started off with a nod to A-Town (Alabama…lol) with Usher’s “Yeah!”, then turned it up a notch with Prince’s “Adore” and, after a seemingly endless parade of songs and stylings, wrapped up the evening with what has become her anthem, Salt N Pepa’s “Push It.”
There we all were — co-workers, colleagues, friends — in the same spot as before. Except this time, it seemed different. It meant more. You see, we were there for a celebration.
It was the guest of honor’s birthday. And celebrate we did. But not just her birthday. Nope. This night, at the spot we always frequent for “All-Star Karaokethons,” it was much more than an annual acknowledgement. It was a celebration of life. Of laughter. Of making it to another Hump Day.
Of making it over the hump.
