lovely fall day

Today is a glorious day. I am sorry to be leaving for work in a few minutes. The sky is clear and bright, and the very strong winds and rain from yesterday have moved on. It is still a bit windy, but not bad at all. Dan and I took the dog for a long walk (more than a mile) today, though we really had to walk slowly coming back due to the poor elderly pooch being so tired.

Last night was great. I wish Bill could have gone, but it would have been impossible to get him a ticket without resorting to blood sucking parasites (scalpers). The play was just wonderful. Afterwards we ate dinner at an Ann Arbor college town classic, Pizza House. There were hundreds of people wandering around the campus area last night, most of them in pretty silly costumes. Being the Saturday closest to Halloween, there were a lot of parties going on. Midterm exams have also just finished, and yesterday was the homecoming football game for UM. Many many many reasons for partying!

After talking about various things today, I now can make reservations for going to Muncie in a couple of weeks to visit Bill on his birthday, as well as making reservations for Cleveland for that wrestling tournament where we can also go to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. I also have a long weekend in December and we might go see the stage version of A Christmas Carol up in Rochester, and tour the old auto baron (Dodge family) mansion at Meadowbrook Hall. The holiday decorations are supposed to be beautiful beyond belief there, and I have never had a chance to see them. That would be a wonderful day. We also have to try to get tickets for the Detroit run of Spamalot.

So I will try to take care of those things when I get home from work.
