Odds and ends

Thursday Duncan and I had movie night, preceded by a haircut for him

and delicious sandwiches from Which Wich for dinner. We saw Burn After Reading, which stars Brad Pitt and George Clooney. You would think that any film with those two in it would be worthwhile. Nope. We kept waiting for the plot to develop. The ending was funny and it was a relief that it was over. Between Chihuahuas and this I think Duncan should choose the next movie.

Duncan spent the night on Thursday and we went to an eye doctor appt for him first thing Friday morning. The good news is that his eyes have not changed so it will just be a routine refill of his contact lenses and replacement of his scratched lenses for his glasses. After the appointment I went in to work, not expecting to get a parking space at 9:30 - but parking karma was good and I did!! Then, adding to this already good day, the east and west coast wine buyers had been in town this week and had left many many bottles of wine to be distributed to the lucky inhabitants of the 2nd floor - me included! I have no idea whether these wines are good or bad, but besides the $2.97 bottle of wine we tasted in Atlanta the other week, I haven't had a bad bottle of wine in a long time. And if these are bad - who cares - they were free!

Friday evening Steffi, Brandi and I went to see the fall play, Shakepeare's Twelfth Night, at St Michaels in their new performing arts center. So unfair that it was not completed until after Steffi graduated! On our way in we admired her brick near the entrance of the new center. They even spelled her name correctly. Anyway, the facility was fabulous, there were lots of alumni in the packed house and the play we excellent!!
