Rudolph's in our strawberry patch

I didn't know that reindeer liked strawberries... :-)

Merry Christmas!

Ulf gets his dream

He really didn't know if he'd get in or not.  He thought he would just sit outside the stadium for a while and listen to the music from there... So he just caught the train into the city and went. 

Funnily enough, he felt like it was a special time between him and God.  He felt like he should stand in the queue for buying tickets, but he didn't plan to buy one.  Then a scalper started haggling and trying to sell Ulf a ticket.  He only had $50 in his wallet, so that's what he offered the scalper.  It wasn't enough, so the scalper tried to direct Ulf to an ATM to withdraw more cash. 

A second man, with his wife, approached Ulf and offered to sell him his ticket.  The scalper got mad and left.  The second man didn't really want $50 for a ticket worth $175, but as he really wanted to sell it, he took the $50!

So Ulf found himself in the stadium.  Waiting for U2 to play.   He called me to let me know that he got in.  I wasn't sure whether to believe him or not.  But at 9pm the band got on stage and Ulf had a great time with his Daddy, watching a U2 concert, so I found out in the morning. :-)

Ulf has been wanting to go to a U2 concert for some time, but we've been unable to get tickets because they are so expensive.

Here's kind of what it was like U2 360 tour "Where the streets have no name"
