Sleep, who needs sleep?

I'm vertical today but just barely as Mary and I drove for three hours yesterday afternoon down to Kansas City for dinner and the Rush concert. (Yes, they're still around. 30 years and going strong.) The concert was spectacular despite the behavior of some and three hours after they started the show was over. The drive back through a massive storm ended up getting me to bed at 4am. Back up at 7 and into the office by 8, concert t-shrit proudly worn. (I'm such a trooper.) The only disappointing thing was the fact that the venue did not allow cameras of any kind into the show. (I got a bad cell photo or two but they're so bad that I probably won't even post them to flickr.) So, it's off to YouTube to share with you the funniest bit from the whole show: 'lil rush!
