Canadian Tenors

This evening we had a real treat--a concert by the Canadian Tenors--courtesy of our friends, Bob and Pat. They have coveted season tickets to the McAllen Community Concert Series, but decided to head up to Albuquerque for the FMCA Rally before this final concert of the 2009-10 season. They generously offered their tickets to us.

The four Canadian tenors and their piano accompanist (Darryn de Souza) put on a great show. The tenors really filled up the space in the large auditorium with their renditions of classic and pop favorites, done in a somewhat operatic style. One song, in particular, was magnificent: a solo performance of O Sole Mio by Remigio Pereira. The pianist had stunning energy and, although his name wasn't on the program, was certainly a big part of the audience's enjoyment.

Earlier in the day we danced to Darryl at his Thursday morning C-1 dance for the first time, with no more problems than we've had at the workshops (we're still rough around the edges, but doing pretty well, considering that we're newly minted C-1 dancers). Linda Hansen asked if I wanted to dance with her at Jerry Story's A-2 this afternoon. It was very enjoyable, and I was especially glad to get a chance to dance to Jerry again. We haven't been to any of his dances since Ken's surgery.


After the morning dance we went to Advanced Windshield Repair and had a stone chip in the windshield repaired. Fortunately it appears that the insurance will cover the whole cost ($60). Ken dropped me off at Jerry's dance and went to Subway to pick up a sandwich, which we ate between tips. Then Ken ran to Kohl's to exchange the defective shirt he got the other day.

We got our mail from Livingston. Ken is now the proud owner of a Medicare card, though it won't be effective until May 1. We also got our replacement router from Cradlepoint--now all we have to do is get it set up.

Today was a busy day, but lots of fun.
