I saw ATE last night at the Danforth Theatre in Toronto. It was an amazing show! One highlight was before the band even began their set. Queen music was playing on a stereo, and what seemed like the entire audience joined in together to sing 'Bohemian Rhapsody'. Someone even waved his lighter. Great moment. But of course, ATE was even better. I love this band, and I was so excited to see them. They exceeded my expectations. Mikel had tons of energy and enthusiasm. His voice is unbelievably good - really nice tone, and he has a very good range. The light show and the presence of all the band members was excellent. Mikel and the band were obviously happy to be there, and it showed. At one point, three of them were playing the drumset simultaneously. Mikel was playing several different guitars as well as the keyboard and the drums. I love the sound of the violin as well. They have so many great hits, like: 'Sometime Around Midnight', 'Changing', 'Numb', 'Wishing Well', 'Innocence', 'It Was All for a Woman' - I could go on and on. The Danforth was a great place to see them. If you have a chance to see them and you're a fan: go.

The Airborne Toxic Event October 11, 2014 - Amazing Show at the Danforth!

My Husband is a Good Sleeper....Too Good, Really
The other morning I had just gotten up - let me rephrase that - I had dragged myself out of bed against the better judgement of every fibre of my being, because it was almost school time, and I knew I had at least one child to prepare for going to school. My husband wandered downstairs looking disgustingly refreshed. He saw my son sitting there, and remarked, "Why isn't he at school already?"
I looked at him closely to see if he was joking.
"Do you honestly mean to tell me," I asked slowly, gritting my teeth, "that you have no knowledge of the fact that he is sick? That he was up at least three times in the night crying? That not only did I give him medicine but I also gave our other child medicine as well? That I also cleaned up vomit from the floor?!"
My husband backed away, shaking his head slowly, as if that would soothe me.
I continued, trying not to yell. "I was up AT LEAST six times in the night, and I am now completely exhausted and hanging by an extremely thin thread. And you are telling me that you didn't wake up ONCE?"
My husband regretted asking, I can tell. I regret marrying such a sound sleeper. It's downright annoying. Yawn.
