I took one for the team last night and went to the local orchestra and choral one night special "Angels Among Us", among the people in attendance were at least a dozen priests and the local bishop. I was elbowed awake at least a half a dozen times by my wife who later claimed it helped keep her awake keeping me from falling asleep. My 84 year old mother in law is in the 2nd stages of dimensia and simply loves this stuff so I went because she expressly wanted me to come with her and my wife. Among hits of the evening were all 5 or 6 episodes of the Requeim, with solos by male and female singers. I really believe I would rather go to an all night dentist for a root canal than go through that again...honest. I volunteer for the retirement center my mother in law lives at, I drive their bus when they go to events and the center gets me a ticket, I don't mind going to the orchestra from time to time and actually enjoyed the last Pops Orchestra and thought it was great when the final song was "I'm proud to be an American" and everybody got up from about midway back, all the people in the front row were the last to stand up because they didn't see the rest...it was great and made my heart feel big.
