Story prints morning after comedic night

Last week, I was assigned to write a story for the Tribune about a free online publication for parents of special needs children. In the process, I learned the importance of the community, as well as the family, having an understanding of special needs.

Fortunately, the story ran at the top of Monday’s edition of the local section, the once-a-week Treasure Coast section rather than just St. Lucie County.

Read the article here on TCPalm.com: “Vero Beach woman launches parenting magazine for special needs children.”

I also managed to capture some photos from Joel McHale at the Sunrise Theatre in Fort Pierce Sunday night despite poor lighting – and cameras not being allowed:

Accepting that vacation means spending

Not only am I spending money on my mini-vacation, I’m also not working to make more money. And when money is tight, extra charges hit harder.

Each concert ticket for the Vans Warped Tour costs $23.50. After a convience charge of $6 and a buidling facility charge of $6, there’s an order processing charge of about $5. Somehow my total came out to be $43.90.

And I’m going to two shows.

Of course, this is all done through Ticketmaster. They have become a monopoly int hat they are the only one to get tickets through, yet they nickel and dime their customers to pay drastically more than ticket value.

All I know is that when this vacation is over, I’ll be keeping myself very busy with work and making money.
