Society’s running late
I’ve been noticing this for a while, but hadn’t really put a label on it. I can’t say for sure when it started, but I think it was in the past ten years. Society has gotten progressively later. My mother, like David was always running late, so I always made it a point to be on time for things. I find it annoying when people are late.
I’ve started noticing a general trend in that nothing ever starts on time. Of course there is the obligatory Doctor visit; they are always going to be late. But take movies for instance, they used to start precisely at the listing time. Now you are lucky if the previews start at the listing time.

Simon & Garfunkel
The concert was great as expected. We were 10 rows from the stage! The concert opens with America playing (a recording) and they have a large screen where they play images from their childhood through growing up and then on to some political events the walk on Selma, Iran Contra, and so on.

It’s happening again
Ali found out last week that Simon & Garfunkel are playing at the Pepsi Arena in Albany tomorrow night (6/10). We were able to get row 11 floor tickets. I can’t wait! We saw them back in December; all I can say is WOW.
If any of you get the chance it is very much worth it.
Hiking
Ali and I went hiking at Bellearye yesterday. We went up Dot Nebel which is a black diamond ski trail. There is only one section that is particularly steep so it wasn’t too bad a climb. As we were wondering around the mountain we came across a patch of snow that hasn’t melted yet. It was probably 50 feet long and 30 feet wide.
Not much else going on, I hope all of you are doing well.

You know, since I’ve been keeping a house hunting blog I’m finding I’m all blogged out when it comes time to write my weekly blog entry.
Ali and I are going to be taking a trip to Alabama towards the end of June. I can’t wait.
