As I mentioned in my first post we spend summers back east, and we are about to depart L.A. for the fun times you see above. Sailing, tennis, golf, lobsters, cocktail parties, kayaking, bike riding, friends & family - it couldn't get much better than that. Although we also get to enjoy jet lag, mosquitos, humidity, thunder storms, green heads, sunburns, mother-in-law, etc. But I'm not complaining - I feel very lucky to get to enjoy another part of the country with my children. A place where we never lock our doors, we leave bikes on the front lawn, walk or ride bikes everywhere, have an account at the General Store, friends stop by unannounced for coffee, we sip cocktails in rocking chairs on the porch, and so on....
Life as it used to be.......Life as it should be.........So NOT L.A.
Am I just old? What is wrong with people at concerts these days? Why can't they just sit, watch & listen to a concert? We saw John Mayer at the Comcast Center in Manfield, MA - he was amazing! But the people sitting in front of us were so annoying! The "girlfriend" was texting during the entire concert and recording the concert in between texting (see photo)! I was ready to lose it with her as she held up her cell phone in front of my face! Her "meat-head" boyfriend was wearing the flag hat you see in the corner of the picture below - this was an evening concert & we were under a roof, dude you are so rude! My 11-year-old son behind you could barely see anything because of your big head & hat! I am restraining myself from certain words, but I was pissed! Then their buddy had to chat about every song to the "meat-head" guy! Don't people care that they spent $100+ on a concert ticket? Why don't they just stay home if they are going to text and talk during the entire show? Obviously they could care less about hearing John Mayer sing, play, and tell his cute stories. Holding on to my cell is the last thing on my mind. Is it just me, but I hope cell phones are banned from concerts soon? Would you do that during a performance of the Nutcracker, or during the Symphony?
P.S. I love my madras dress, have been living in it! Got a very funny "white trash" cake! Wish I had a close up of it.
