    Ok, you officially entered my thoughts this evening. I was catching up on my reading for one of my business classes. The very first thing in the book is a little blurb about U2 and the concert ticket prices, scalpers, etc. While I was reading that, I thought of you — and then I checked in on your blog, and the first entry I see is about U2… It’s a crazy crazy world!
