When you gotta' feel good

[wondersofwine]

I'm a jazz fan too. But on December 8th I thoroughly enjoyed a concert by one of the acrobatic musicians, Bruce Springsteen, appearing in Charlotte. He did a couple slides on his knees across the stage that looked rather risky. Wonder if he's ever slid right off the edge.

Earlier that day I went to the Duke Mansion for a tasting of Champagnes and Holiday wines. Found out it was canceled because the Duke Mansion was without power until that day due to the ice storm Wednesday night. I arrived overdressed at the Boss's concert because I had dressed for the champagne tasting.

Biggest risk getting around town--some of the traffic lights were still out. At night, as a visitor from out-of-town, I didn't realize at first that those intersections were supposed to have traffic lights and went sailing through a couple. The most dangerous intersections had police cars on hand and when I heard policewoman on a bullhorn say "This is a four-way stop," of course I stopped and was more cautious from then on. I intend to write the Charlotte P.D. a letter commending the way they handled the traffic situation during a trying time.

Also went to church in a cold, dark church. People had coats on throughout the service but the Advent music and lessons were beautiful and they did have organ (its own generator for the bellows maybe?)
