Gifting myself BSO Tickets

 So, I have a tendency to defer things.  I'm not talking about procrastinating on the things I have to do (although I, of course, do fall victim to that as well).  I'm referring to deferring things I want to do "Later, when I have more time (or money) (or energy) (or a cool synergy with another activity)".  The thing is, as John Lennon told us "Life is what happens while you're busy making other plans."

So, I live near Boston.  Boston has a world class symphony and symphony hall and I like to go.  How often have I been in the 23 years I've lived here?  Not much, but I'll get around to going regularly "later".  So for my 54th birthday this year, I bought myself a simple three concert series with two seats at each:


Izze and I seeing Yuja Wang performing with BSO: Messiaen's Turangalîla-Symphonie 

Seb and I seeing Gubaidulina's Progol and Prokofiev's Symphony No 4


Irene and I seeing Berlioz's Romeo et Juliette

Other people buy a membership to a gym to motivate themselves to work out.  I guess I'm just like them, huh?

Yes, already have my 3 events, 2 seats each for this concert season!
