Aural
I’ve had the Bose QuietComfort headphones on my wishlist for some time now, but only discovered why about 20 minutes ago. I was suspicious for the entire 71 minute flight to Salt Lake City that the guy next to me had them, but he was reading a book so I didn’t bother him until we were landing. After he told me that I could have borrowed them to try out, I kicked myself and resigned to spending $300 on them… and pray that I had the willpower to send them back at the end of the 30 day trial.
 There was a glimmer of hope when the guy next to me on the Salt Lake > MSP flight pulled out the exact same headphones – except alas, he seemed much less interested in sharing. Are these things a prerequisite for flying first class? But then, right on cue, the guy from the first flight got on the plane and recognized me (and my desire to try the headphones!)
I’m currently listening to Time Out - which reminds me that I have, for the second year in a row, missed the Dave Brubeck Jazz Festival in Stockton. My lone consolation is that Bose somehow shrunk Dave and his piano and stuck them in my ears – these things are amazing…
Good thing my 26 and a halfth birthday is only 4 days away!

Did you see Dave Brubeck is coming to Orchestra Hall in August? http://www.minnesotaorchestra.org/season/event_detail.cfm?id_event=22434946
I'm interested in getting tickets and I need a fellow music nerd to go along. I'm trying to convince Laura, too - we'll see how that goes.
Let's just hope he doesn't die before then.
