Good food, good music, and good company... and crappy news.

Last night I had the honor of escorting Dan's Grandmom, Bernice, to her first Bad Plus show. Dan and I took her to Chris's Jazz Cafe down on Samson Street. When we finally got seated, we decided to get some food. Since I am still on my no booze kick, I indulged in a bottle of still water. We then decided to get some dinner. I got the short ribs over the mac-and-cheese with truffle oil. Dan got the steak, with the truffle mac-and-cheese, and asparagus. It was pretty damn good! The music was excellent, as the Bad Plus always is. It was different to see them with a singer but Wendy was wonderful (and adorable too!). The company was great as well! Along with Dan and Gram, I got to see Sarah, Ethan and other members of the band. It was a nice relaxing night that I enjoyed with my future family (5 months)! We got Gram home at a decent time and then Dan and I went home and went to bed.

This morning, Dan was doing some work outside but forgot his phone. It rang 3 different times when I finally got up to see whom was calling. Sadly, we discovered that his dad had died earlier that morning of a cardiac arrest. He was only 62 years old. It was a shocked and totally not expected, since he seemed okay the last time Dan spoke to him. We are awaiting news on when the funeral will be since we have to book tickets and hotel rooms.

Keep you posted!
