Date Night

To my total delight, Bruce and I were able to double date with Jeff and Rose last night. Rose lined up tickets to the Utah Symphony at the Thanksgiving Point amphitheater, I lined up Paige to watch our combined children. It was a GREAT time.
Jeff and Bruce dressed twinners on purpose.

Jeff: You know Bruce, the Blue Danube Waltz is a classic and a favorite of symphony goers world wide.
Bruce: While I certainly see your point, Jeff, I simply LOVE the Souza marches.

The views of the surroundings were excellent, as was the weather, but the views of the Symphony? Not so good- they're behind all those white tarps.

That improved once the sun went down.

This man gave Rose and I the DIRTIEST look. I certainly would never chat my way through a formal symphony concert. However, we were outdoors, we were casually dressed, people were eating KETTLE CORN, for Pete's sake. Some conversation in subdued tones was not out of order. But, green shirted man is the kind who writes letters to the editor about the lack of manners in our current society, so he felt totally justified shooting daggers our way. Perhaps those who comment can weigh in: Was it the fact that Rose and I were talking about placentas that pushed this man over the edge, or was it Jeff and Bruce talking about if they won the lottery they would get Brazilian waxes that did him in?

Irregardless, by the middle of the second act, this guy had spooked away everyone around us. Or, maybe it was us. Who cares. I haven't had this much fun in a while.

It was totally the placentas. I mean, you could have made him lose his kettle corn, for goodness sake!
