What a crappy day yesterday. Headed to the mall after work and I move over to get by some sort of furniture in the middle of the road and somehow run over keys in the road with my rear tire. Decided to use Onstar Safe and Sound instead of AAA and someone was out there in about 15-20 minutes which was quicker that the 40 minute estimated wait time I was given. Would had done it myself but the damn lugnuts were so tight that I couldn't get them off.

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.

What a bad day, got a call from the Shubert Theatre that the Kathy Mattea show that I have 27 tickets for with people coming in from all over the US and overseas. Personally I think was due to poor ticket sales which I find hard to believe but was able to go online and really good seats are still available.
This is not the first time that CAPA of New Haven did this to Kathy. Years ago a show at the Palace was canceled and moved across the state to the Sub Base in New London.

Went to the City on Wednesday to see Dougie MacLean fron Scotland at Makor which seats 150-200 at the most. What a great show it was even though he was fighting a cold. Talked to him briefly after the show to tell him that it was a good week as I seen him and Kathy in it. He mentioned that he knew Kathy was in Vermont one week after he was but couldn't make it.
