Oh, What a Cruel Joke

Dan decided to surprise me with a special gift for Valentine's Day- he purchased George Winston (a most talented pianist) tickets for last night. We were able to find someone to come over and watch the boys, so the planning ensued. We had to arrange a time with the sitter and cancel patients to make sure Dan was home on time for our departure.
Well, the evening finally came and Dan was home on time, the sitter arrived right when she was scheduled to, and the boys were all ready to go- thanks to a frantic hour of preparation. We had to make sure we left in a timely manner because the concert was all the way up in Carrboro- a good 45 minutes away. We hurried out the door with tickets and directions in hand. Dan drove like he was trying out for the next Motor Cross, because he could (this is how he explains it), and after stopping to ask for better directions we finally arrived at the Arts Center.
When we arrived, we noticed that there were quite a few empty spots. Hmmmmm, had we found the correct location? We parked and anxiously walked to the front door, we wanted to make sure we had good seats as they were first come, first serve. When we got to the front door, we noticed a little sign, a sign that stated: "George Winston, originally scheduled for March 17th, has been rescheduled for February 24th." HUH? How could we have missed it? No one told us that he was to perform early! Then we noticed the date again, the date of reschedule was February 24th, 2009! Oh, dear. All dressed up and nowhere to go, we headed out for a small dinner while listening to George play his piano through Dan's MP3 player. It was definitely not the same.
