And now José is headed our way. It's not going to be much, NW of Boston, probably a rainy day and some wind, but on the Cape, there's going to be tropical storm force winds. A close friend of mine recently moved to her house down there, full time. We are going down for the weekend, on Friday, 2 days after the storm moves through. Hopefully, there won't be much damage. She's right in the center of the area that will get it the worst.
People do act weird in disasters. It's an acute trauma reaction. All I know, is that I would have been out the minute the word evacuation was mentioned. Perhaps I am a wuss, but I'd rather have my life than my stuff.

OMG OMG OMG I just got a ticket to see the Foo Fighters in DC!!!!! They are playing opening night at a new 6000-seat venue. Tickets went on sale back in June and sold out literally in 5 seconds so I didn't get one. But a few minutes ago I was checking the twitter and BOOM! a few more tickets were just released for sale and BOOM!! I got one!!! Yay!!!

Best thing to happen to me in a while -- finally some good luck! I was already able to get a ticket to see them in Richmond which is two days after this DC show -- so that's two concerts in one week!!

Both shows require some logistical planning -- the DC show is on a weeknight and the ticket is general admission so I'll have to take a couple of hours off in the afternoon. The Richmond show is on a Saturday but I've never actually been to Richmond before. I know the drive is not too bad except there is always traffic, so I'm planning to go way early and find a place to hang out for a few hours. At least for that show it's a reserved seat.

Enjoy the concert!!!!!!!!

I was 13 when this album came out…. Good memory of listening to Everlong on headphones and thinking about the crush I had on Erin and our harmonizing perfectly together

When you're just trying to be helpful while a co-worker is out sick, and then the co-worker comes back and dumps the work on you "because you've already started it" even though you tell them that you've done all you can and have reached a dead-end. Not seeing much incentive to try to help next time...


(re: my post from October, I thought I'd responded to Rebecca after the Foos concert -- what a great concert. They ended with Everlong. I have tickets to three more shows in July, in Philadelphia and NY.)

As of March 1st I'm now retired!

Congrats, Trek!!! I know how much you have been looking forward to this.

That's wonderful, Trek! I hope you enjoy retirement as much as I have so far -- I left the workplace in 2011 and have not looked back. I know not working drives some folks to distraction, and back to work of some sort, but for me, the freedom to do whatever I want, when I want to, vastly outweighs the few times I might have felt a little bored or restless.
