Getting Culture-fied

What a crazy weekend.  Today I am grateful for:

• The Dallas Symphony Orchestra and Chloe Trevor's Performance of Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto this Saturday.
• Feeling John's thumps and watching Kristina jump as my baby boy enjoys such a classical masterpiece.
• Committing to listening to classical music so many months ago and finally beginning to understand the beauty of such challenging art.
• Making lemonade out of lemons at the Cafe Grande Lux.  Seriously crappy service, but rock star parking, good food, and great company.
• Getting an awesome quote on painting the house
• Things going our way with High Cliff and generating positive interest
• Riding my bike even more.
• Thirty Eight
• Not being in any kind of hurry any more
• Cooking an awesome vegetarian pasta dish and then serving it up with steak!
• Wiener Schnitzel - Europe's classier chicken fried steak.
• Closing on our house was nice, but everyone's congratulations even nicer.
• Mike and Susan's interest in us and their interest in cycling.  They are such a blessing to Kristina and me.
