Off to spend Valentine's Day with The Smothers Brothers

They are at the Kennedy Center tonight. AND with the National Symphony Orchestra! How cool is that? Sold out. Been a big fan since I was a kid, well before their TV show (which I never missed). Been to their winery, but have never seen them live. 8 p.m. tonight, I finally will. Hope everybody has a Valentine's Day event pending that they look forward to as much as I look forward to this one!
