ahhhhhhhhhhhhh

i am pretty bummed right now. next thursday we are off from calvin crest to head north for the holidays. my sister in law ann flies in on monday and then we are all road tripping on thursday. a stop in turlock to visit nelly our wonderful adopted "oma", then a stop in San Fran and Walnut Creek, to visit Stover. and this is where the ahhhhh comes in. laura has wanted to go to an opera forever so we are planning to go to an opera in the city at the War Memorial Opera House. tix were available for the past few days, and then a friend of ours mel was going to come and so we were waiting to talk to her to find out if she wanted to come for sure and now... there are no more tix available through the internet. so maybe tomorrow via the box office direct, but i imagine these will be butt expensive. if anyone has some ideas or hook ups in the city of san fran please let me know. the opera is eugene onegin, from a pushkin poem, done by tchaikovsky. that is all i know. i know the russians from that era wrote good stuff. i sounded so cultured right there.
