We went out for a date on Saturday night. This, and our ghost walk last night, are our first date nights since early August, when we went to the USA National Championships in Milwaukee where my lovely bride competed in two races. So those weren’t really dates, but adventures.
So these were our first dates since … June. Switzerland.
That’s not true. We did go to the lake one day last month.
We’re very exciting people.
So it was a date night to Indy on Saturday night. We had dinner at a little Irish pub we like.
Perfect weather. We were the only people sitting outdoors. Very odd.
We also went to the joint where the Pacers play, because this guy was giving a performance of a different sort.
I laughed so hard — at stupid stuff of the sort that isn’t even my style of humor — that I was in pain. Bert is simply telling (embellished) family stories and is just now hitting his stride.
It rained yesterday, so it was a good day to stay inside, except for when we went to the grocery store, in the rain. Today, it rained and looked even more grim.
My contribution to the cause today was this. I finally finished this video project we’ve been working on. Helped one of our students lay out his graduate capstone project and saw another event canceled due to … apathy, I guess it was.
A student knocked on my door today and told me this.
Breaking this news to @kennysmith in the newsroom has to be my highlight of the semester https://t.co/tmUwU8p15x

This evening I wrote a little essay about that, which likely won’t get picked up anywhere. I also stopped by the sporting goods store to get some new weights. The Yankee is now able to upgrade part of her PT, and she needed some 2.5-pound plates.
Someone shoplifted in the store while I was waiting to check out. The guy working the door thought it, I thought it. Nothing was done — injury liability and insurance I am sure — even as the woman all but telegraphed her guilt. She then wandered around outside for a while, going to the farthest part of the parking lot before coming to a blue Taurus parked right by the door. She drove away.
And so did I. At the house I replaced our license plates, and did the monthly cleaning of my computer desktop.
Yep. We are very exciting people.
