Not so easy....

Don’t get me wrong, I do not miss the good old days of standing in line to buy tickets to concerts. But the way we do it now can be so frustrating! We were actually able to get on Ticketmaster before the supposed on-sale time of 10 am, which made me quite suspicious. Was there a pre-sale before the pre-sale? We were on two separate computers, with Barry searching for fully wheelchair accessible seats and me looking for a seat that allows the person to transfer out of the wheelchair. I prefer the latter but either is fine: I need the wheelchair to get from the car to the seat but I have no trouble transferring once I am there. Barry was able to get seats while I was not. How can that be? How can every single such seat have been gone by the start of the pre-sale? This will forever remain a mystery.

So, I guess we will mostly be seeing the Eagles on the screen or through binoculars, but at least we will be there.

We are planning a simple and quiet Sabbath this week. We thought about inviting company but decided to allow some down time. Simmie and Ronen and the girls are in Israel, visiting relatives and friends and sightseeing. Dina and the children will be coming to New York first thing Sunday. Unfortunately the weather forecast does not sound great for next week, and we were planning to enjoy some amount of outdoor activities. We do hope to find a nice half-day for the Botanical Gardens, and we also hope to make it to the Bronx Zoo. We have a list of other fun things to do but we will have to see how the weather develops. 

On Wednesday, Dina and Ella will be spending the afternoon and having dinner at the American Girl Doll Store in Manhattan while Joshua, Barry, and I are going to a Mets game. You might be wondering how in the world it happened that I am going to the Mets game rather than the American Girl Doll Store. Well, the Mets tickets had been purchased a while ago, and we had ordered handicap accessible seating since I was planning to go. Ella did not want to go to the baseball game, so it made sense to book her visit to American Girl on the same day. So I find myself in the somewhat amusing position of having to go to a ball game and missing American Girl. Next Friday we plan to drive up to Sharon, and if the weather is good we will visit Mystic Seaport on the way.

Have a nice weekend!

Love,

Rebecca
