After studying various options of seating at the met I ended up buying 2 more dress circle tix for the Saturday Matinee in late Feb with Juan Diego and Joyce DiDonato. Thats another $540 on top of the evening performance for $540. The Met sure has our money this year. Libbie cleaned up the hot tub and I hooked up the hose to fill it. Our base temp is 58 degrees, need to go up to 100. We made some chicken parmesan for dinner which we had with one glass of Merlot. After dinner I attached my LED string to the green sweatshirt to make an ugly Christmas sweater for the party tonight. I previously charged the USB battery in the afternoon using the cell phone charger. Around dinner time I also talked to John Glembock about what's going on in the family. We went to the party tonight where the time really went by fast. We danced almost every dance. Afterwards we tried to go out downtown to the pub next to the Cary theater but it was still under construction. Instead we went to Spirits. Jen and lana, Ken and Anita and the Cains with their daughter Alice all went. Alice is a cutey with a wonderful personality. We had onion rings, cheese sticks and 2 beers at the bar tonight.
