So I ask you, what was your first concert?

I think Chuck Mangione. At least it was the first I remember. A small theater and an awesome performance.

Damn, ita. It is awful enough that you have need to go to the ER. The least they can do is treat you right. I hope today is a better day.

I took Brendon to the ER last week after his car crash. We went to the Boca Raton ER and they were lovely. First there was only 1 person in the waiting room other than us. Then each and every person we encountered was concerned and pleasant. Then I realized that they never asked about insurance until we were on the way out the door.

If we ever have to go again I am going back there. I remember vividly going to the Jackson ER in Miami and being told that it was over a 24 hour wait and having them suggest going to another hospital and they would transfer by ambulance making it quicker. Also, the Jackson ER was real scary with all the victims of violent crimes and such. Doctors that train at big city ERs really do see it all.

Really enjoyed all the happy 3 year old twin pictures.

Restaurant gift certificates--especially ones that deliver are great gifts for new parents.

Food, booze, pampering. All good for the parents. Babies don't need a lot of stuff anyway.

Good ones, good ones. I will take these suggestions to my co-conspirator and come up with something good!

I'm so happy I found someone else who shares my first concert shame. Shaun Cassidy. I don't recall the year, but it had to have been before 9th grade.

Well, I saw him in 5th grade, but then I don't think I went to another concert until college. Except for Dead shows, it wasn't really a thing in high school; although, I did get invited to The Police and stupidly said no because I didn't like the guy who wanted to take me.

Best concert? The first leg of U2's Joshua Tree tour when they were playing smaller indoor arenas and Lone Justice was their opener. Not to be confused with the concert I saw six months later at RFK stadium when Bono dislocated his shoulder in the middle and had his arm in a sling for the encore.

U2 with Public Enemy & Sugarcubes

I saw that same tour.

Sophia, bars totally count. Most of the best shows I've seen have been in clubs.

My first concert was two Canadian bands...one was the Box, one may have been Honeymooon Suite or the Spoons. I can't remember. My friend's uncle was the mayor, so we had free tickets.

I am trying to tidy my house today and mostly, I'm being lazy. I do five minutes of work and relax for 20. At this rate, the house will be tidy in a week. Unfortunately, I have plummbers comng first thing tomorrow morning, so I have to pick up the pace.

I've already done more than I did all day yesterday (which was pretty much nothing but puke and go back to bed several times, and then spill nail polish on my rug and wish I had stayed in bed, so it's not a very high bar).

Any moment now I will go shower and get dressed and then head up to Napa for brunch with fun people.

Napa? When I mapped it, it was Suisun City near Fairfield? Is Googlemaps doing me wrong? Or does Napa really run that far East? I'd better go check!!

Not Napa. Napa adjacent. Near Fairfield is correct.

Eta: Also, hooray brunch!
