Home. The concert was nice... well done. I guess that's what you get with decades of experience and a bankroll. The one significant change I would have made would be to tone down the excessive use of brilliant flood lights pointed at the audience's eyes. I strongly recommend avoiding Who concerts if you are susceptible to seizure induced by flickering visual stimulation. My head hurts. There was a moment of honorable mention where Chrissie Hynde made remark about PETA and vegetarianism and was abruptly booed by the stadium. I was surprised, but I suppose it could be expected from the statistically obese, meat loving city of Houston, TX (ranked #1 most overweight in the US 4 out of the last 5 years... seriously, who would be proud of that?). I enjoyed the "people watching"... especially the folks reconnecting with their youth through music of their generation. It really brought smiles to a lot of faces. I cried to myself through the first part of the show. I've really been emotional this week. I'm sure it will pass. Sam and I ate at the original Ninfa's on Navigation before the show. We managed to get a nice patio table and dodge the crowd. Fresh avocado and jalapeños, yummy salsa, and pechuga gratinada were perfect under the cool night sky. Other than being emotionally troubled and not being able to shake this back ache, I had a nice time this evening. I'm headed to Brazos Bend in about 6 hours for a photo outing, so it bed time.
