I Have Had Quite A Day . . .
Edited on Sun Mar-21-10 12:56 AM by Dinger
I win a teaching award, AND go to a Willie Nelson concert in Appleton! I only got one halfway-decent picture though. I had to sneak it when security wasn't looking.:evilgrin:






Edited to add:
First we went to Green Bay for the award, then back home (3 hour round trip). Then take an hour break to rest. Next thing, me and Mom go to Appleton to see Willie! Another 3 hour round trip, but who gives a shit, it's Willie! She lost her sister (my aunt) on Wednesday, so this was nice, but bittersweet.


Edited again to add:

It was a 2 hour+ show, and Willie did it by himself. He sounded GREAT! Gorgeous, strong voice. He didn't take a single break either.Not bad for a 76-year-old guy!

17. Congratulations on your award!
WIllie is great. I saw him at Coachella and he was one of the highlights of that sweaty day in the desert.
