As usual, I rushed to the box office of OZ just shortly before the performance started last night. Before I reached my pocket for my wallet, a stranger approached me and offered me a free ticket. His friend who owns a season ticket could not be there last night so he offered it to me. And it was a good seat with great view!!! This is the third time that this kind of thing happened to me. My o my, am I lucky! I love this country!!

We chatted, talking about opera and things. It was very pleasant. At one point, he told me that he was glad to offer his friend's ticket to me. He wanted to give it to someone he likes. Before I came to the box office, there were three other people, but he decided to give me the ticket. I felt very very flattered to be honest.

Ah... life can be so kind to you sometimes....
