Life Post-Vertigo

Well, after four shows in spring and seven this fall, my time touring with U2 on the Vertigo Tour has come to a close. Back-to-back nights general admission inside the ellipse dead center just off the rail wrapped it up for me. My body couldn't take another show, even if I could afford one (which I can't!). Two evenings sleeping outside on line in bitter December cold was enough for me. Yes, many of you think I'm crazy, but I'm not the only (didn't Lennon sign about that?). Anyway, the last two shows were great -- for me, they didn't top the second fall Philly show or the last MSG show, but they were good, and well worth it. Thanks to the lady with the voucher who helped me scan into the ellipse on the first night, to Jen for the fun from Philly to NYC to Boston, and the girls who swapped out stubs so we were ellipse the last night as well. Most of all, thanks to the boys for the music that moves me.

The real question is, now, what to do with all the free time now that I won't be driving many hours to the next show every few weeks?!? Well, time to catch up on home life. My husband and dogs have been so patient and tolerant of my U2 habit. It's fair time I give them some attention they well deserve. Plus, it's winter... there's snow out there and powder turns to be made!
