Canadian Brass concert

Dan did make it home in time, and swept me into Ann Arbor despite my not feeling well. We made it to the concert, and it was incredibly enjoyable. The Canadian Brass are not just great musicians, they also have a great sense of showmanship, and are very entertaining and very funny. Their version of Carmen was great - not only the music (which was superb), but the mock bull fight, etc. were hilarious. They played a nice mixture of classical and jazz, which was welcome.

After the concert we went out to eat at a nice Indian restaurant in downtown Ann Arbor named Shalimar. The spicy food opened up my sinuses, which was hugely welcome! We were hungry and ordered way too much food - two appetizers, a bread sampler basket with several kinds of breads, and two entrees. We ended up bringing a lot of the food home, but it was delicious, and it will be fun eating it. I can also reopen my sinuses again!

Getting the sinuses to drain was a huge relief!
