Rain, a Party and a Cup of Chai

Rochester spring is in full swing. Tulips are blooming, daffodils are almost finished blooming and the lilacs are just getting started. We had a day of sun, rain, more sun w/ blue skies, torrential thunderstorm, then more sun. Between 2:45 and 3:15 the temperature probably dropped at least 10 degrees.

It was quite a social weekend we had too. Last night Mike and Vivi hosted a cookout. Mike went to the trouble of having a fence installed in his backyard in time for the party so that all of his dog-loving friends could bring their dogs along. Unfortunately, hardly anyone brought their dog. I think everyone else had the same thought we did: we wanted to focus on conversation (mostly about our dogs) and mingling instead of having the constant distraction of having to yell at the dogs to behave. Kari and I met a lot of nice people, talked about our dogs, ate some good picnic food and had a lot of fun in general.

This afternoon, we went to see A Mighty Wind, basically a folk music version of This is Spinal Tap. Hi-larious! We met Seth and Chris and George and Michele at the Little then went to Spot Coffee for dinner and a cup of coffee as big as your head.
