Depeche Mode was in Bratislava last night and guess who went? Yup, a friend called me last night from the stadium with a couple extra tickets. Reminded me what it's like to experience music and to feel alive again... I hadn't been to a concert since...is it possible...fall 2002 (because Ben Folds last summer doesn't count). Besides, my appreciation for Depeche Mode has multiplied.

Theme for the month...what gives and takes away life. One concert, spontaneously, has made up for all the other things that have drained me. Canoeing the Vltava helped too.
