Last night members of the bridge group attended a concert at the Botanic Gardens. It is always wonderful to enjoy live music in a gorgeous outdoor setting, regardless of the musicians.
This was the only artist on the summer series I even recognized, so I recommended “Panita” secure the tickets for this particular evening. Inaccurate weather forecasts had us waiting out the rain before the concert and leaving during the lightning evacuation mid-performance. In between we listened to tunes, me somewhat irreverently as I couldn’t quite wrap my head around his 82-year old voice scratching out some songs I knew, and others I am quite happy to have never heard. I did have some extremely satisfying belly laughs though – those lyrics! I guess we all thought we were pretty special back in the 60’s and 70’s!
Perhaps my half-hearted appreciation led to God’s pity and our early dismissal. We decamped to JD’s Bait Shop, a dive bar near our carpool designation. A fitting end to our tame little group. We parted at the late hour of 8:30 pm, ready for the next adventure.
We nailed the spirit of PIVOT–“making a change in strategy, without a change in vision”. Our vision is clear-friendship, fellowship and fun (with figs)! Gold medal secured last night.
Truly.
