Today is a day that I will remember the rest of my life... That's pretty monumental for me. I don't have many of those, really. High school and college graduation, my wedding day, the day we bought our first house, the day we got Gus... you get the picture? Today is one of those days, just with a different sort of memory.... today is the day I got a phone call from my mom and found out she has cancer, and it's Stage 4. I don't have many of those kinds of memories, so I guess I should think I'm lucky. Too bad nothing about this feels like the kind of luck you'd want.
What does any of this have to do with a concert? Well, it might only be fitting that tonight we are going to see Lady Antebellum, who I absolutely love. And, not only that, I can completely lose myself in the dark theater and try not to think about how everything might look a little different from today forward.
The show starts with David Nail, who I recommend you check out. I know I am going to.
Lady A's stage is set up with some amazing backdrops, chandeliers and a huge window. Not what I expected for a one-album wonder.
The show starts with I Run To You, which is my favorite song - it's on my workout playlist and although it has a slower pace than you'd expect, keeps me going. They continue with hitting their other hits and a few covers. They play Do I which is a Luke Bryan song that Dave and Charles wrote with Luke. Man, these guys are so talented. They cover some Bruce Springsteen, the Police and Bonnie Raitt and end the show with Need You Now, which just seems pretty fitting for the kind of mood I am in. They play a short encore and the show ends. I will definitely see them again and never forget this moment for so many reasons.

Division Playoffs Game 2 vs. Yankees
It's Game 2 on the Roof Deck. Last night was a disappointing loss to the Yankees and if we don't pull out a win tonight, this will be the end of the playoffs at Target Field in 2010. Pavano is pitching and Mike is wearing a Pavano mustache in his honor. Despite the great weather, friends, food and confident hitting from the Twins, Game 2 goes to the Yankees... again. The Twins have never won a division series game 2 and tonight was no exception. Pavano went 6 innings and gave up 10 hits, which proved deadly. On the bright side, the bullpen looked its best and combined for 2 scoreless innings. Hudson and Young were shining at the sticks. Too bad it wasn't enough. Damn, it's hard being a Twins fan.
