Greenday, new finds, and other current events

This weekend Brad and I had tickets to see Greenday both Saturday and Sunday night. We had a great time both nights and on Sunday we were so close to the stage in the pit we got sweat on. I did learn something both nights about people. It seems to me that alcohol isn't always a good idea in having a good time. Night one the lady in front of us was so drunk she couldn't stand anymore and we seriously worried about the poor chap in front of her that seem like he might get more than he bargain for at the event. Night two a woman was so drunk during Greenday's first song she started causing trouble and security had to escort her from the concert thus making her miss the whole thing. Both of these people not only ruined the event for themselves but also for those around them or with them. It seems to me that I had a great time both nights and no alcohol was needed to enhance my experience. I am not saying this because I am in any way against the consumption of alcohol but more in the fact that it should not be used to ruin a good time.

Brad and I both enjoy an occasional spirit and it has been a source of irritation that we do not have a decent liquor store near us. Today however that was changed. While going through Saturdays mail I came across a pamphlet to a liquor store. It looked large and exactly what we had been looking for. I looked at the address and discovered it was only about a mile and a half from the house. So I went over there to check it out and not only did they have the random Belgium beer Brad likes they had it by the case and a lot cheaper then we had been able to find before. We are very excited to now know of a place to get the more random beverages we have been wanting. So I suppose the lesson here is to actually look at your junk mail it may show you what you have been looking for all along.

I have been sick with a pretty bad cold for the last couple of weeks and it was actually bad enough to trigger my asthma that had been dormant for the last 5 years. I went to the doctor today and she gave me an inhaler and said I should be breathing normally within the week. I welcome the relief as I am really tired of coughing all the time and Brad is tired of me shaking him out of bed with my cough. Well that is about it for now I am sure there is a lot I am forgetting but that does tend to happen.
