We're heading to see Rufus tonight!
I saw him back in 2001 at a really small bar in town, but my friend LD and I had just scored Madonna tickets that morning. Throughout the show we'd turn to each other and squeel (quietly) "we're going to Madonna!" - after about 45 minutes we realized that we were too distracted to appreciate Rufus - so we went and grabbed drinks.
I had hoped to make soup last night that we could just reheat and also feed our neighbors who are going too - but I was too tired last night. These nights will happen. Provisional plans to eat at the restaurant downstairs, but maybe I can muster the willpower to cook something quick at home - and then we could have glow-y post-show drinks instead!
Fingers crossed...
CC called over lunch - the front tire is flat. I checked Costco and found tires for roughly $120 each. And thought that seemed reasonable. It's not like I price tires on a reasonable basis and figured it must cost $500-600 to replace all the tires.
Then, remembering that Firestone is just around the corner (seriously, two blocks) - I found tires there for $40 each. Sure, there are better/sleeker/sportier/more-tractiony tires for $80 & $110 - but we mostly use the car around town.
So four tires will cost $215.92 - instead of $384.20 (for the $80 tires) - instead of $504 (for the Costco tires)!
And we'll eat at home before the show.
