MTC Tour Day 6: Wise Choices

The concert tonight at the Saratoga Performing Arts Center at Saratoga Springs was completely sold out, and there were at least 200 people watching from the lawn outside the pavilion.  The audience was great, and the concert went well.

Before the concert, while the Choir and Orchestra rehearsed, my sweet wife went on a tour of the park.  There are four springs at Saratoga Springs, each with different qualities, flavors, and health benefits.  One of them has a laxative benefit.  That was NOT a typo.  It has a laxative benefit.

My wife chose not to partake of that particular spring.

On a lighter note, after the concert, as I was walking wearily up the hill toward the buses that would whisk us away for the 4.5 hour bus ride back to New York City, I was singing:

Shall we stagger to the busses?

The beautiful, the beautiful busses? 

Shall we stagger to the busses

That’ll take us to our nice, comfy beds? 

I was also looking for my dear Cindy, who I knew would be waiting for me near the busses.  I thought I saw her standing with a group of other women.  However, it was quite dark, and couldn’t be certain.  So I walked up to the woman I believed to be my wife, touched her gently on the shoulder, and said, “Hi.”

She turned around and smiled.  I had chosen wisely.

I then said, “I’m so glad it was you.  I was about to grab your butt!”

The other women broke into peals of laughter.

As we walked away, Cindy said, “Well, you just made their night!”

So, I guess my work here is done!  Goodnight, Saratoga Springs!
