I had the experience of a lifetime this weekend!


Some background as to why it was so very special to me.

1. I was about 9 or 10 years old and getting very interested in music. My mom took me into town so I could spend some of my allowance money on a record. And the very first record I bought for myself was Beethoven's Fifth Symphony. I played that record a gazzillion times and I still have it.

2. My dad once told me that it was his dream to see a live performance by a symphony orchestra. He never made it.

Saturday, I went to the Kennedy to hear the NSO perform Beethoven's 5th!!!!!!!


My tears flowed for almost the entire performance. My dad was with me. In my pocket was a little Bible that he had signed and given to me when I was a kid.

Indeed he was!  :yes: :smitten: :smitten: :smitten:

Those moments in life are priceless!  :yes: 8)

I like Palehorse better. I can't picture a suck egg mule and I don't think I want to. ;D

  Would that be an egg sucking mule, like a chicken killing dog.  Or a ass kissing Circle Fly. :wink:

I was bummed out all day yesterday. It was the day last year my brother died.

Yeah. Probably kind of like the way I feel on March 1.

Stay strong, brother.

I'm good. Life goes on. We just have to man up and do the best we can.

Yeah.

But I always found it easy to take what was directed at me.

I always had a much, much bigger problem with what happened to my family and friends.
