Magnificent concerts at the Gorge and exquisite plays on Broadway. Cultural events that create joy and lifelong memories. I encourage you to attend as many as you possibly can.
I also realize the difficulties of finances and travel.
So I oftentimes decide on a different venue. I refer to it as “the cheap seats”: the homemade picnic table in our front yard where my granddaughter re-enacts the joyous experience of shelling peas that my daughter delighted in just a few short years ago; my sweetheart’s contented, subtle smile as we turn the pages of the photo album; the local sages’ morning coffee banter at Connie’s Cafe about last night’s storm and new fishing rods; the large excited eyes of the brother and sister draped in red, white and blue as they rearrange the flags on their wagon.
The parade of life’s beauty.
I’ll take the cheap seats.
