    The Police concert at the Palace 

    My wife and I caught The Police in concert at the Palace last night.

    Rock!

    This is the one band that I had always wanted to see live. I didn’t catch them when I was in high school and when this reunion tour was announced, I was all over getting tickets.

    Here’s the playlist from the show:

    Message in a Bottle
    Synchronicity 2
    Walking on the Moon
    Voices Inside My Head
    When the World Is Running Down
    Don’t Stand So Close To Me
    Driven To Tears
    Truth Hits Everybody
    Bed’s Too Big Without You
    Every Little Thing She Does is Magic
    Wrapped Around Your Finger
    De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da
    Invisible Sun
    Walking in Your Footsteps
    Can’t Stand Losing You
    Roxanne

    (Encores)
    King Of Pain
    So Lonely
    Every Breath You Take
    Next To You

    If you’re a fan of the band, check out the show!

      I got 12th row for January when they come to Australia. I hate waiting!! The set list looks great. I’ve only seen them once before when I was fifteen and I was about 5000 people away from the stage, and it was still awesome, so I’m pretty excited about being so close this time. \^_^/

    Earrings 

    Our oldest daughter now has earrings.

    Good golly.

    My wife, the mother-in-law, our daughters and a friend went to what can only be described as a “girls-only” store at the mall; it’s a place where girls can get their hair and make-up done, pretend to be rock stars and they also do ear piercing.

    My wife said the young ladies working at the store were awesome and did a great job of helping our daughter pick out a starter set and showing her how to properly care for those new holes in her head.

    To avoid possible “oh no, you’re not putting a hole in the other ear” if the first one hurts, both ears were pierced simultaneously. Makes sense to me.

    Our oldest came back very excited and proud.

    “Dad, it didn’t hurt at all!”

    I’m most freaked out because this is a sign that she’s starting to grow into a young lady, caring more about her appearance and all things girl.

    Thankfully, boys still have cooties and she can kick most of their backsides on the soccer field.

    Doh! 

    For the single reader out there who saw a generic, parked page for the site, my bad.

    I biffed on the renewal for my domain and godaddy parked the sucker for a few hours today.

    I just ponied up my $8.25 to renew the domain.

    You and I can continue our conversation now.

    cheers,
    Chris
