Yesterday’s Fun Makes for Today’s Rest

Last night, Wendy and I went to the Colbie Caillat and Sheryl Crow concert at Koka Booth Amphitheatre in Cary, North Carolina. The setting is very nice. It’s a medium size outdoor venue with lots of trees on the border. Once the sun went down, even the weather was comfortable.

I like Colbie Caillat music anyway and the band sounded really good. I watched the bass player with interest – my husband plays bass. This guy had the look and style that I think my husband should emulate.

Then Sheryl Crow came on stage. I was expecting Sheryl standing around playing guitar and singing nice ballads most of the evening. Nice, but nothing spectacular. I was pleasantly surprised. She has a new band and the performance was much funkier, higher energy than I expected. I liked it.

Wendy is one of my ‘person with pain’ friends. I don’t know why I feel the need to have to add that description, but for this story it’s helps. Wendy has a handicapped parking sticker. There’s both a positive and negative side to that. Yes, we parked up front meaning less walking. That’s good. But, by the end of the concert – sitting, standing, walking, clapping, etc – we hurt and needed close parking. So, close parking isn’t always a great thing … it means we are paying a price for the fun we had. And today, I’m still paying that price. But, as I usually say, it was worth it!
