I just invested in the $250 musicians custom ear plugs at my ENT office.

I figured if a 2 hour preschool event outside felt like an assault on my hearing, I needed something to be able to interact with the world. The audiologist said that these are amazing and very effective at concerts, etc.

I also got tickets with my son to see One Direction in July (I know! not necessarily my favorite, but it's his).

We need to make plans because they indicate hope.

Okay, bluehiroko, what's the name of the band?
