7-17-2010 Discretion is the better part

Given the heat and the fact that we were gone all last week, we decided to temper our travel ambitions this weekend. We walked down to the Farmer's Market in the morning (Saturday) and got lots of fruit. There's a lady there selling the BEST coffee and I look forward to that.

That evening we went to a Wolf Trap show. We drove there, rather than Metro, since we were unsure about getting home and spending time in train stations very late at night. It was, as it has been for so many days, very hot and humid. We had gotten tickets in the back of the "indoor" sit down area. The show was the National Symphony Orchestra playing Rogers and Hammerstein, with three soloists, 2 men and a woman. It was a very good concert, the sound system was great but... Boy! was it hot. After the first 15 minutes, Sue and I got up and moved to the unpopulated section in the back so we could spread out. That helped a lot and many other folks did so also. We got out about 10:15.The concert had started at 8:15.
