D’OH!

Ah, the high tech world of computers, where we can now be disappointed on scales we never once thought possible.

I found out belatedly about the cast of “The Simpsons” doing a live reading of an episode (followed by a Q&A with Matt Groening) as part of the comedy fair in Montreal. I tried to get tickets so I could take my teen daughter, Gwen. Sold out. Gwen suggested I check on E-bay. Sure enough, someone was selling two tickets. I put a pretty high bid on them and had them locked up until an hour or so before the end of the auction…which I wasn’t home for because I was out with my youngest daughter, Ariel. And someone swooped in at the last minute and grabbed them. Entertained one daughter, let down another.

I know all’s fair and everything, but since Gwen isn’t coming with me to San Diego, this was going to be our big dad-and-daughter outing.

Anyone have two tickets they don’t need?
