We have a Seattle Symphony concert downtown today at noon, which is an unusual time to go. Our subscription this year packed three Sunday afternoon concerts into June, essentially eating up those nice summer weekends when you would rather be outside or make vacation plans.
We don't know why they consistently do that, instead of spreading the concerts out through the dull winter months. But season ticket holders can swap their tickets free of charge, so we choose this one, featuring a Mozart piano concerto and The Rite of Spring.
Bring on Spring. Please. The weather suddenly turned cold and wet, and sleet was beating on the patio cover at The Bridge yesterday, where we were belting out Irish songs over the din.
It should come as no surprise that Irish music is popular with the ukulele set, and the cornier the better. Traditional Irish songs are basically about chasing pretty girls, drinking, and death. (I'm not kidding.)
Another big day (last night for us) in Taiwan. Here they are having lunch at the Yaoye Tea House. Yes, teenagers can pack away a heap of dim sum!
