My birthday dilemma
I turn 46 today.
Our family celebration of the event won’t happen until this weekend. Meanwhile, for various reasons, I have free tickets to a performance of Verdi’s “Requiem” by the Nashville Symphony tonight at the Schermerhorn. As I posted the other day, I don’t really have anyone to take right now, and the one person I asked platonically turned me down.
It’s been a busy and stressful week at work. I’m now trying to figure out whether I want to go ahead and make the drive to Nashville tonight by myself or whether I want to just relax and forget about it. If I went to the concert, I could park in the SunTrust building and all I’d be out is gas money (plus dinner, if I stopped for dinner on the way from Shelbyville).
I should probably go.

While there would be a great deal of irony in seeing Requiem on one’s birthday, if you’re only 46 it’s probably not as bad. Do what you really want to do, even if it’s renting an “Arnold” movie and kicking back on the couch.
Oh, and happy birthday!

Happy Birthday, John!!!
I’d have totally gone with you, ‘cept for the whole childcare situation, but even if you don’t have any takers, I think you should go and enjoy the evening! Sometimes we are our own best company.
I hope you have a great day!

If this affects your decision, I’m in the Nashville Symphony Chorus, and if I do say so myself I think the Verdi is going to be spectacular. The Judgment Day trumpets in the Dies Irae [both on stage and in the high balconies on each side of the organ] are alone worth the trip.

[...] to do. I’m going to the symphony. It should be a great concert — as one of the commenters on my previous post indicated — and it will be my first chance to see Giancarlo Guerrero, the symphony’s [...]
