…So that beer was good – we slipped into the Firkin about 20 minutes before the concert and downed that Coors Lite (for me) and Guinness (for him) while watching a bit of the Maple Leafs game.  We then walked across the street, in the rain, to the perfect venue for us these days (note criteria – uptown, free parking, great acoustics and not a single bad seat in the house.  Oh, and our daughter has had her dance recitals here too – yass!)

So this midweek date night with a suburban couple attending a concert by a cool couple on their midweek gig night.  The talent was ridiculous, but the genuine respect as artists and love for each other at partners was what was really inspiring.  And how priceless it was when they encored with their version of Lovesong by the Cure.  The Cure – a band who featured prominently in the early days of our own relationship oh, yeah, like 30 years ago.

It was perfect.  I guess that’s why concerts are our thing.
