My remote was missing for about a month. I finally found it a couple of days ago. I had used it to mark a page in a book (probly got up to answer the phone or something). The book was buried under some stuff on the couch.
I lost my car/house keys for two weeks, a while back.
This time I had lost $250 worth of concert tickets. I subscribe to the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra. I got the tickets in the mail in August. I had forgotten all about them until a couple of weeks ago, when I remembered that my first show was in November. I looked, but couldn't find them. A week later, I decided I had probably missed the show. Tonight, I remembered at about 6:00. I decided I WOULD find them. I looked everywhere (my house isn't that big). After twenty minutes, I found them. Guess what? The first show was tonight. In an hour. I had to scramble to get ready and go - it is a half hour drive in to the city. I got to my seat about a minute before the lights went down - and they won't seat you after the orchestra begins.
It's too bad I hadn't found the tickets earlier. I had two, and it would have been nice to take somebody else along.
The show was excellent. They started with a piece for the pipe organ. I wasn't too impressed by the peice, but the organ sounded great.
Then violin soloist Joshua Bel played Sibelius' Violin Concerto in D minor, Opus 47. Excellent! Beautiful! Wow.
Then "Also Sprach Zarathustra." Yes, this was the opening theme to 2001. It's not one of my favorite pieces, but the opening fanfares are beautiful. They just make you smile. And the body of the symphony is not very intricate, so does not require concentration to appreciate (like the Sibelius piece), and I needed some time to slow down and think.

I would love to learn the cello. I played violin when I was a kid but I fell in love with the cello on the day our teacher let us trade instruments just for fun. One of these days, when I have a little extra money, I'm going to rent a cello and take lessons.
