For this week’s date, we went to see Andy Summers, former guitarist for The Police, at the Palace Theatre in Greensburg. I wasn’t sure how the concert was going to be as I looked him up online and it was just him up there noodling on the guitar while photos he’s taken through the years display on the screen behind him, but it was actually pretty good. But the best part about the night was the humorous stories he told about being on tour with The Police. I could have listened to those all night. Prior to the show, we stopped at Oliver’s Pourhouse for drinks. Our waitress from last week remembered us and even what we drank! I guess we’ll have to go there again.
the lightning rod
This was a thriller by the author Brad Meltzer. It’s from his “Zig & Nola” series. The book was ok, but it was trying too hard: most of the characters had unusal names; then there was the twist at the end that came out of nowhere. I think I will pass on future novels from this author.
My rating: 3/5
the leftovers
What a great show this was! I usually don’t watch stuff straight through (I take a break now and then to watch other shows, movies, etc.), but I couldn’t stop watching this one. It doesn’t hurt that it was only 3 seasons, so it didn’t take very long to watch. The series told the story of what happened after the Sudden Departure, where 2% of the world’s population vanished. Beyond that, I can’t even explain it as it was a super complex story. But, so interesting!
My rating: 4.5/5
the fifth
I met up with Carol at The Fifth last night. It hasn’t been too long since we last went out, but it was still nice to catch up.
What a busy week it’s been! I feel like I haven’t been home since September. In addition to all my social outings this week, I also had a board meeting one evening and a vet appointment one morning. I’m looking forward to my activity-free weekend.
date #3
Our third date was delayed by a week. We went to Oliver’s Pourhouse in Greensburg for dinner last night and had a nice time, like always. We have plans to go out again next week, so there’s that!
