In honor of Elton John's 61st birthday, I was planning to plop down in front of the TV and watch the second half -- well, more like two-thirds -- of his 60th birthday concert from Madison Square Garden.

Unfortunately, those plans were put on hold for 20 minutes when my mother called.

I was finally getting comfy and was about to head to the couch when the phone rang again. This time, it was my sister.

Long story short: Elton will have to wait for another day. I mean, he puts on a great show, but my sister comes first. After all, I don't have her on DVD.
