I am friends with my massage therapist.

&nbsp;

You've met her before.  She's the greatest.  If you live in my fair city and need some TLC, write me and I'll give you Melody's number.

&nbsp;

Anywho, since Melody and I have become friends through many massages throughout the years, we talk a bit before I pass out on the table and drift to lala land.

&nbsp;

Melody is not only World's Greatest Massage Therapist, but also Volunteer of the Century.

&nbsp;

It's true!  The woman is always volunteering.  She's either at Feed My Starving Children or leading hospital patients in song or showing patrons around the historic Orpheum Theatre or you name it!  She's there!  Melody makes the world a better place one volunteer gig at a time.

&nbsp;

Melody's latest massage table announcement was that she applied to volunteer for the Sundance Film Festival.

&nbsp;

Wow.

&nbsp;

She then proceeded to tell me that she convinced our mutual friend Sarah to apply.  Would I consider applying as well?

&nbsp;

Double wow.

&nbsp;

Honestly, I'm not sure I even knew that one could volunteer for Sundance.  Did you?  I suppose that I never stopped to think about it.

&nbsp;

But when I heard that the opportunity exists and I'm on a mission to live playfully and curiously and all that jazz, how could I NOT apply?

&nbsp;

Can you say, "OPPORTUNITY OF A LIFETIME???"

&nbsp;

By the way, application doesn't necessarily mean you're "in".  Volunteers are handpicked.

&nbsp;

Melody and Sarah have already been interviewed phone.  I am next.

&nbsp;

Sundance January 2013 or Bust?

&nbsp;

To be continued . . . .
