Sorry to interrupt the hockey tealk, guys, but here's something about concert season:
My brother, Doug Varty, is doing his Rod Stewart tribute show in Bay City, Michigan, on August 12.
(nearly got cancelled, but the border patrol decided to let him through after all)
Who's going with me?

Sorry Snow, but we are on our way back from the East coast and will just make it to Detroit the morning of the concert.

He's playing a lot in London this summer, so you (we?) will have a chance to catch him there, too.

Haven't discussed it specifically with him, but I think not. He has to be back in London for an Elvis gig on the 14 through 16.
And he seemed to think that while one Buffett concert (and tailgate) was an interesting experience, he wasn't about to join our parrade!
Are you guys going to Chicago this year? Oskhosh?

OSH yes, Chicago stop uncertain.
Depends what Diane has in mind.
Not sure what Kim's plans are either.
Airplanes? Daughters?
You're one of the few that can combine them both at the same time!

That was an awesome win! I was on the phone to our daughter in Whistler and kept interrupting with "Detroit scored another!!"
Laura would love to go to Oshkosh one day, but doesn't think she'll be able to take holiday time this summer. Still working at the map store and about to reapply for the aviation jobs... needs to go flying this week!

From what I gather, our kids are more likely to replace Mr. Utley and Ms. Shakur in Jimmy's band than they are to find flying jobs in the near future.

I was so excited about this and was sure I would go. I would love to see you. It's only about 20 miles from me and I've been to Wenonah Park. Until I looked at my calendar.
How is it possible that I already have a conflict for that night?????

I'm signed up for a cooking class that evening with my sister.

It's a series of classes. And I paid in advance.
This lady has some great cooking classes. She grows all her own herbs. We took 4 classes from her last winter too.
however, if anything causes cancellation of that class, I will
definitely be in Bay City that night.
