Saturday night we went to hear the Oak Ridge Boys sing at the Fitz Casino in Tunica. Lots of gray hair in the audience, including ours and the ones on stage. Our seats were off to one side, but it was a small venue so there weren't really any bad seats.
Except for the seats directly behind the woman who stood up and danced and waved her arms during the first part of the concert.
People in front of me were trying to take pictures with their telephones. I could see the woman's silhouette in all of their pictures. I wondered if the people directly behind her could see the band at all. Finally, some guy a couple of rows ahead of me flagged down a security person. When the security guy made the woman sit down, the applause from the audience was about as loud as the applause for the band.

Son #2 and his family went camping in east Tennessee last week. Granddaughter #1 had been chosen as one of the field commanders for her high school band and was scheduled to attend a 2-day leadership camp in North Carolina, so the camping trip did double duty. Friday evening, the day before the camp was to start, our daughter-in-law texted us with the news that she and our son were feeling poorly and had tested positive for covid. By Sunday night, their children were all sick, except for Granddaughter #1 (who may be sick by this morning). The Little Rotten Baby was running a high fever and didn't want to eat or drink. They were squirting orange juice into her mouth with a syringe, trying to keep her from becoming dehydrated.
Our son is supposed to go back to work the middle of this week. I worry that they won't be able to hitch up the camper to come home tomorrow.
