I heart Petcetera

My firm donated money to the Children's Health Council and in return, got tickets to their annual Summer Symphony, this year featuring the one, the only, Peter Cetera. Tadaaaa! Um, who? Our recruiter was pushing this event really hard - "It's always a really good time! A nice summer night!" So I, along with the other summer associates, bought into it, and agreed to go.

Later that week, I got an e-mail from her giving us directions for meeting the other recruiter there. Wait. You're not going? You were totally pushing this and you're not going?? All I got was a snicker in response. Oh great. I invited friends and now they will judge me for it. Ah well, we're fun people, so we'll keep ourselves entertained. I'll just apologize for subjecting them to it later.

Tram arrives, having checked out Peter Cetera's song list. "Are we going to a Christian concert?" That hadn't even occurred to me. GREAT. But then, Bryan, knower of all music, chimes in with his rendition of "I am a MAN who will FIGHT for your hoooonor ..." YES!! I love that song! Turns out, I know and love ALL his songs! We ALL know and love all his songs!!

So instead of me spending the entire time apologizing profusely and Tram and Bryan pretending to be okay with it, we spent a pleasant, lazy summer evening beneath the setting sun sitting on picnic blankets, listening to nostalgic music and eating a nice dinner with plenty of good company.

Did I mention we sang along? Oh, we sang.

Cheers to you, Peter Cetera!
