My friends are huge fans of an English rock band called New Model Army. In October, the band came to New York for its 30th anniversary tour, which was to be the last time they would ever tour the United States. Near the end of the second show set, my husband began chanting "Two more nights!" What he meant was "We want to follow you for your second tour, which will obviously be in a city in Europe!" So he and our best friends looked it up and saw that it was London. Adam's best friend, James, had recently landed a very high-paying job and could cover most of the costs. They found a bundled package for air travel and hotel, and because I didn't want to see the first show, a walking tour for me. At first I was very reluctant, resistant, and hesitant - it was a lot of money to me, and I'm unemployed, etc etc. I love New Model Army, but not quite that much! But they were so excited and they insisted that this would be like the honeymoons none of us actually took. Adam booked me a balcony seat for the Saturday show, and I can bring my cane and everything.
