Ben and I are very fortunate to have friends and family who will watch Katie for us while we go on dates.  Tonight, our friend Shellie took care of Katie while we went out for dinner and a concert at The Triple Door.  We got tickets to sit at a table right in front of the stage.  Other than having to turn to look to the center of the stage, our seats were great.  We saw Susan Werner and David Wilcox.  It was a unique concert experience.  David started with six songs and then Susan came out and they traded off after each song or two.  David stated that they were going to try to have a conversation with their songs.  And, it worked pretty well.  For instance, she sang a humorous song about being bad and doing all the things bad for ourselves and the environment.  He followed up with a song about the disaster in the Gulf of Mexico last year.  Then she sang "Mercy Me", another song with an environmental conscience.  Anyway, it was a great show.  

The Triple Door serves food from Wild Ginger, the Tom Douglas restaurant upstairs.  We started off with chicken pot stickers.  For our main dishes, we shared Pad Thai with chicken and Seven  Flavor Beef.  Both were quite good.  With our meals we enjoyed wine and a few cocktails.  For dessert we shared a ginger chocolate gelato.  Oh, the food was very good.
