So, tonight we’re seeing Elton John and Billy Joel in concert.  My sister Worthy says it’s a loooong concert, which is good, except that she says that the best songs are last, so wait until the 3 and 1/2 hour mark.  Whew.  Am I getting old or what?

Liliana’s staying home with two lovely babysitters (sisters–one babysitting, one visiting–or perhaps they’re just two cool playmates whom she adores!).  Check.

An hour plus drive up to the cities, so Dan and I can talk under peaceful circumstances.  Check.

Dinner at a lovely French restaurant.  Check.

The concert!  Check.

All in all, a wonderful date.

I leave you with Elton John’s “Candle in the Wind,” one of my favorites of his, even before he sang it for Princess Diana’s funeral.
