Decided to take a half of day off from work and go see Kathy up in Barre, VT since her show in New Haven was rescheduled so suddenly on Tuesday to December 16th due to a scheduling conflict.

Glad that I did as this was a great show and the crowd up here was into it from song 1. Sat far enough back that I just sat there and enjoyed the music and didn't that the camera out. Did take a bunch of photos aftershow as Katarina had her parents over from Europe so I can get them put on a CD and send them to her.

Only bad parts of the day was the getting stuck in traffic in Springfield on I-91 due to construction where they had the highway closed between exits 10-11. Thanks to GPS, I got off a before the detour and went through Springfield and Holyoke and getting back on the highway at exit 18. Lost about an hour total in that mess.

Got to my hotel in White River Junction and the room they gave me wasn't cleaned yet so I had to go down and get more keys (They did offer to bring a set up to me). Got freshened up and because of the delay before, had to head up to Barre as I had made a reservation at Dels for 6PM. I didn't get there until about 6:15 as I parked down the street closer to the Barre Opera House where the show was. Had a friend from New York who was about 12 miles behind me who I was waiting for before I ordered but he ran into issues at the campground where he had a reservation for and then got lost or misdirected as usual so I finally ordered and ate. The bad thing here was that I had a dining certificate for $25 towards the bill but needed $35 minimum for two entrees so after tip I would up paying $35 instead of $10-$15 if there was the two of us.

If anyone is up in the Barre, VT area, I do recommend eating at Dels, it is well worth the money.
