Skipping aikido today because it’s too close to the Andrea Bocelli
concert tonight. My mom and I have tickets; not very good tickets, but
decent. Kathy is kicking herself in the shin for turning down a _free_
center-box ticket someone offered her. She was offered that ticket by
some organization in order to take pictures, but the organizers are
firm about no cameras, and she didn’t feel like going if she couldn’t
shoot. She called to cancel over the protestations of the people
offering her the ticket. When she realized it wasn’t all going to be
in Italian and that the value of the ticket she declined was 50k (50k
for _one_ _seat!_), she was very vocably annoyed.
