(Wed) The First Cut is the Deepest 6

Although clarity of mind helps you make better decisions, too much rationalization can get in the way of trusting your intuition. Don't let logic rule your day.

Ha! Spent the day trying to come up with a (logical) title to describe the creative, intuitive way that I work and it just didn't happen. Spent about half the day on thesaurus.com and still got nowhere.

Husband and I went to the Rod Stewart concert at DTE - we see him every year. Husband has a group of buddies he usually sees concerts with but I'm the date for RS because, well, it just wouldn't look cool to show up with a group of guys to see Rod Stewart. And I have to agree. Last night's audience looked like a dental hygienist convention. A group of nice, average, sweet women who you'd let stick a hand in your mouth. There were a few token husbands but mostly groups of 3-7 women all dressed up and out for a Girl's Night. Surprisingly (or maybe not), the median age was 55. We were definitely on the young end. (Although, I was stunned later to smell pot. We were surrounded by people aged 50-70; I was dying to know who was smoking!)

One of the token husbands sat two rows ahead of me and was so freakishly extra tall that even with the sloping floor he towered above me and blocked my view of the stage. This reminded me of my vow to run for public office on the platform of public seating by head size. In my world, your head size is printed on your driver's license and when you buy your tickets you are told where you can sit so you don't block some unfortunate tiny-headed person's line of vision.

Last night was also the second night in a row we heard The First Cut is the Deepest performed. Hard to tell who did it better, Sheryl or Rod. Don't make me choose; I just don't have the clarity of mind!

Can't stop laughing over "A group of nice, average, sweet women who you'd let stick a hand in your mouth."

Is this some kind of soccer mom prostitute ring?

I'm really trying not to judge them by their clothing.
