In my free time, I like to do a lot of this, to the point that I often wonder if I was one of these in a past life:
Lately, I’ve been dragging myself out of my comfort zone (or, in some cases, being prodded out by friends). Winter is winding down, after all, and we can’t hibernate and re-watch Downton Abbey forever.
In the past few weeks, I took in The Coffee and Tea Show and a Bruce Springsteen concert (just this past Friday, in fact).
In both cases, I was with dear friends. Khat and I browsed the coffee and tea event, and Ilana invited me to the Springsteen show. No joke, we had the best seats in the house. Hollah! (Don’t hate!)
Truth be told, going in, I liked Springsteen well enough. He and the E. Street band put on one helluva show that exceeded my expectations bigtime. It was one of those shows where they didn’t even play that many of the big hits, yet the band still rocked out and really connected with the audience. I was impressed. It was a blast, and I’d jump at the chance to see another of his shows.

Did you know that Bruce Springsteen had never played Harlem's Apollo Theater until just a few days ago?
Just goes to show that sometimes it’s good to break the routine, both in big ways and small ways.
I hope everyone had a great weekend.
Question time:
What have you done lately to break your routine (big or small adjustments)?
Speaking of breaking the routine, I have a couple of cool giveaways that are coming up on here, so stay tuned.
