50° in January
What with all the hefty stuff I’ve been posting about lately, I figured I should probably post something to prove that I actually have fun once in a while!
Myself, Jason and Phil checked out the monthly Geva Comedy Improv last night. They’re a local comedy troupe that does whose-line-is-it-anyway type improv at our local theater. We had a great time, and they even used one of Jason’s suggestions for a skit: in response to a request for “a place so small it’s not on any map”, Jason blurted out: My Bathroom! And they went with it! The ensuing 10 minutes were filled with a larger-than-life wedding-ring-retrieving expedition through the plumbing of Jason’s lavatory, complete with an encounter with the rare but surprisingly confrontational toilet gnomes!
After the improv let out, we cruised around town a bit looking for an open sushi bar – but no such place was to be found at 1:30 on a Saturday morning. We ended up landing at Monty’s Krown, where we endured a few minutes of detroit punk before finishing our drinks and heading for home – where the bottle of Four Chimneys 2004 Gemeinschaft wine we started earlier in the evening was waiting for us!
Today, it was 50° outside, clear, and sunny. I couldn’t not spend at least part of the day enjoying that weather – which is unusual but not at all surprising for January in Rochester. I ended up heading over to Powder Mills Park – which isn’t even far enough from the house for the car to warm up – and going caching:
I got a good hike in, took some photographs, and got all that winter dust cleared out of my system… Maybe the next time we have a freakishly warm day in the middle of the winter, I’ll get up early enough to drag a few geocaching-geek friends along with me, too!
