Like Salt in the Wound

So, it wasn't enough that Van Morrison was finally coming to a place in Canada and I couldn't go because I was in Suriname, now I get an instant message from the MTS Centre and learn he's going to be in Winnipeg on March 1. He's coming to my OWN hometown. But, when will I be in Winnipeg???? Not March 1. No, I arrive in Winnipeg on March 23. Do the math people...that's 22 days too late. Damn you Van, damn you!
