We try to plan, but we plan very short term, as in, "honey, why don't we get tickets for Kirov tonight (or maybe two days from now) before they leave town?"  The one time we really planned, was last spring when Stuttgart was touring in NY the same time we planned to be in town.  Well, look how that turned out -- they cancelled.  And we had missed them when they were here in California!  So we try to fit ballet performances into our daughter's ballet training schedule when she doesn't have other pressing things to do, and when the checkbook isn't having panic attacks over the purchase of just one more leotard, 5 more pairs of pointe shoes that will go dead in as many days, or just one more private lesson from that special teacher.
