I went to a
concert by the Escher String Quartet last night. I liked the music, and loved
getting to go. {SMILE}
I haven't
been to a concert in years, ever since Mom and Dad decided they couldn't sit
thru a long concert between Mom's back's tendency to give her trouble, and
Dad's need to put his feet up or walk around or something. He's not supposed to
sit still for long periods of time. That pretty thoroughly messed up my
transportation options, so I've been pretty much pretending that Hilo doesn't
have any shows I want to see for several years now. {resigned smile}
They do have
a few, like last night's concert. Fortunately, a friend who lives a block or
two away offered to take me with her. I bought my ticket when I got there, and
had a wonderful time. The music was pretty nice, especially since it was live.
Even better, I got to see a few folks I haven't bumped into in years during the
intermission. {SMILE}
I enjoyed
myself so much, I'm trying to figure out how to do this a little more often.
I'm hoping to think of something. I've missed this entirely too much. {SMILE}
