Today started off with an earlier-than-normal hectic schedule, but through all of the frenzy my sights were on the end of the day. This is not typical for me, for I love to work hard and see the fruits of my labours come to life. But today…..I was leaving on time. I had important plans. I.COULD.NOT.WAIT.FOR.THE.END.OF.THE.DAY!
A chunk of our baseball team is playing in a golf tournament sponsored by one of our team sponsored bars - The Moose & Barrel. And so, my bestie and I headed from work (on time for once) and to hit a bucket of balls at the driving range at Polson Pier. But before balls, we ate Chino Locos with a tasty beer! (If you didn’t know by now, it’s one of my favourites burritos places in the city….okay, who’s kidding who. They ARE my favourite…I have their phone number saved in my phone!!)
And while all of this is delightful and made me happy, this wasn’t the biggest moment of my day. Once our bucket of balls was depleted we were off to see “City and Colour” at the Molson Amphitheatre.
With our plastic guitar of red wine, my BFF and I settled in for the night. I loved the energy of “The Avett Brothers” and in particular enjoyed “Will You Return” and “January Wedding”, but we were eager to hear our favourite songs by City and Colour.
And Dallas Green and his crew did not disappoint. AMAZING. Simply AMAZING. If you are curious to see what the set list was, it’s here.
But today’s moments was a culmination of moments. It was during “Weightless” (you can read the lyrics here). This moment was when I stopped watching the stage filled with my two favourite colours (green and purple) and took a look at the crowd behind me. As I was about to turn back to the stage flashing green spots onto a purple background, I saw a flock of pigeons flying overhead. What a beautiful sight as their bodies and wings sparkled with the light cast over them against the black of the night sky behind them. I watched them circle and twinkle. And then the entire flock disappeared. It was a beautiful, smile inducing moment. And one that makes the list!
Moments that are unexpected.
Moments that are colourful.
