Yes, today was the day for the long awaited Eagles Concert at the Key Arena in Seattle. We left early so Gary could take me to my favorite restaurant, The Olive Garden, for lunch. We had a few errands on the way and we planned to meet at Jenny & Trevor's. Laura was going to meet us there too so we could all go out to dinner for Laura's birthday.
At 4:34 pm I received a call from Trevor: "I have some bad news". My first thought was Jenny! He said the Eagles concert was cancelled. Well, Trevor just had to be joking with me because my family knows how much I am looking forward to this concert. No, this was for real. Bassist/vocalist Timothy Schmit was sick so the concert was rescheduled for May 26.
Well, that would be fine but I am leaving for Chicago on Monday! I offered to Gary that he could go with someone else, even though he knows how much I wanted to go. Well, luckily he has no one else to go with, besides HE WOULDN'T DARE!
I got home and there was a voice message on my answering machine that the concert was postponed, and I had 2 emails as well. They made every effort to let people know before they left home. Unfortunately we just left a little too early.
I missed the concert last year because of my medical mission, and this year it was postponed. I just have to hope that the band stays healthy enough to do this again next year. Tim, I hope you are feeling better soon!
Side note: Trevor said he would NEVER joke with me about something like that!

I totally thought of you when I heard the news on the radio. I'm bummed for you that you can't make the rescheduled date. That stinks!
Yes, this sucks, but don't you dare cancel your trip to visit me! BUT I am sorry that you'll miss the concert. Are you getting your money back?
