Opera, Holidays, and Mall Parking Lot Rage

Last weekend's evening at the opera was a wonderful time with family and celebrating a birthday. Every time I go to the opera I like it even more! Supposedly, music changes the brain and listening to music is good for you. I am now searching for a CD of opera arias-- good road music :)


The holidays are here, and even though the shopping rush usually begins after Thanksgiving, my visit to the mall this weekend before Thanksgiving showed that the whole world has already started Christmas shopping! Parking lots were filled and so the ritual of stalking for parking spaces has begun. Parking rage has taken over the minds of even the most reasonable persons! Time and again I saw cars cut in front of other cars waiting for a parking space, or angrily driving around a car patiently waiting for a parking space. Whatever happened to Mom's lessons of minding your manners and being considerate of others?
