Fixing a lost opportunity

[bill_schubert]

My elder son, Alex (38 years old now), and I both love Pink Floyd.  One of the opportunities I thought I had lost was to take him to a Pink Floyd concert.  That is being nearly rectified.  Roger Waters is on tour and will be in San Andonio on 1 July.  I wrote my son a note asking if he wanted to go with me (this, by the way, was at my wife's urging taking advantage of the opportunity to duck a concert that didn't really interest her while reaping the credit of giving my son her ticket.. won the perfecta therre) and he said 'sure'.

The airplane tickets are paid (money that I'll forget about soon enough) and he will be here for the weekend.  And we'll see most of Pink Floyd.  Together.

One of those things that could not have worked out better.

Serendipity at it's finest

Yeah, funny how things sometimes happen that way. The way I actually found out about the concert was a story about Hall and Oates on CBS Sunday Morning. My wife and I got tickets. Same San Antonio arena where Roger Waters is playing.
Weird how things happen like that. You just have to be receptive, I think.

Agreed. If we remain open to possibility, and our vibe matches that of the Universe, amazing things happen. Seen it happen in my own life many times. Enjoy the show. Out of the 100's of concerts I've seen, Floyd is not among them. The husband and daughter #3 did a few years back.

That's great! I have seen Pink Floyd twice, and Roger Waters once, and they were all amazing shows.

No surprise that they are amazing. I've seen enough on YouTube to get the idea. We have seats dead center in the back. The price was reasonable and I figure that the show is big enough we'll be involved without being overwhelmed by the crowd. I've discovered that the people of a certain age gravitate to the further rows and it is more comfortable there.

It will be fun. And I've not seen my son in three or so years. So there is that.
