Friday night Hygge

To end a very stressful week for both me and my husband, we suddenly remembered we had bought tickets way back in May to see Steve Martin and Martin Short at a nearby outdoor theater.  So first there was the stress of him getting home in time from work.  He did and in fact he got a short nap in (he'd worked until 3 in the morning the day before).  Then there was the stress of not being able to find the parking sticker that we paid extra for so we could park in the closer lot and that would allow us to eat at the small restaurant there.  Couldn't find it, so we decided we'd just eat pizza with the kids.  J went to get the pizza at the nearby really good pizza place, literally about a 12 minutes drive.  He was gone forever.  Time was ticking away.  Finally he called.  They had closed off the main street for some kind of event and he was absolutely trapped in traffic.  He finally had to turn around and drive the opposite direction and circle around a really long way to get home.  So we ate our pizza quickly and drove to the show.  Parked and walked (which wasn't bad at all; it's the getting out of the big parking lot after the show is over that's the problem.)  T

The show was hysterical.  It was a little bawdy but then all classical comedy is, starting with the Greeks and their phallic obsession!  But most of it was just funny.  And they had Steve Martin's back up bluegrass band there:  Steep Canyon Rangers.  I love them!  I've seen them in concert before.  The violinist practically stole the show!  So fantastic!!!!  Really amazing playing!  I can't put in enough exclamation points!!!!

So it was a fun time.  We walked back to the car and while sitting in the parking lot waiting the long wait to get out, noticed we were actually on empty.  So we turned off the engine and waited.  Finally we were able to slowly progress out.  There's a fuel monitor device which tells you how many miles left.  Just getting out of the parking lot it said 0 miles.  We couldn't even drive to a gas station if we wanted to.  Fortunately, we live close to this venue.  It's about a 20 minute walk but a 5 minute drive, so we very gingerly drove back home and pulled into the garage basically on gas fumes.  LOL.  So even the very end of the week was stressful too!

Anyway, leaving you with the song the Steep Canyon Rangers played that brought everyone to their feet!
