In my haste yesterday, I didn't say how much I enjoyed the David Copperfield performance at the Fox on Friday. I don't think I've watched him on TV in about 10 years so I had forgotten how funny the guy is! (actually, after talking with people at work, they say that the funny bits are edited out of the TV shows and it's just the illusions)

Copperfield was cool and the Fox Theatre was gorgeous! This was my first time to be there for anything and I'm very impressed. When they did renovations in 1988, they really did a great job. The place looks amazing. I haven't found any good pictures of before and after for the Fox, but here are some nice pictures of downtown Detroit. Yes, I said "nice". *smirk*

An Optimist's View of Detroit...

After the show, Stepanie and I stopped at Comet Burgers in Royal Oak for a tasty banana split. I love that place! (yes, there is supposed to be an "s" on the end of "Burgers")

Saturday, I met Stephanie at her apartment and we went to a wedding in Caro (correcting an error there -- originally I put "Clio" but Stephanie corrected me on Thursday -- oops!), just a few blocks from where she grew up. Not a bad drive from Davidson, where Stephanie lives. A bit over an hour and we were there. It reminded me a bit of going to Hillsdale, but bigger. Lots of farm country in the surrounding areas though.

The wedding featured not 1, not 2, but 3 ministers. One was the groom's father. Can you imagine that? Having your dad conduct part of your wedding? We stopped to see Stephanie's parents and little brother for a few minutes before the wedding and set up a toy robot for her little brother, Brian. He's 7 and just a ball of energy!

We got the robot at Gags & Gifts in the mall on Friday. I own one too, b/c it's so cool! It's a radio-controlled base, with about a 3 foot tall inflatable robot sitting on top of it. The robot has a little area on his back where you can put small things and then a serving try held in its hand.

Kinda like a robot butler.

Okay, a weak robot butler. Brian tested it out and once he put in his GameBoy and some games, that was too much for the motor. It's pretty cool just to drive around. Definitely a good toy for when I'm in my new place.

Stephanie's parents are good people and her dad even got out on the dance floor a bit during the reception. He said that it was because Brian wouldn't go out there by himself, but I think he just wanted to boogie! *laugh* The DJ was ok, but tried a bit too hard. He played some definite dancing music and even threw in a couple of swing tunes. Stephanie is a good sport, so she let me spin her around a bit!

I've been talking with lots of people lately, both on the phone and on email. Last night I heard some great news (!) from my friend Andy while making plans with him for Easter weekend and I have been exchanging emails with my Aunt Alonna, plus my old friends Matt and Mark as we make plans for a canoe/camping trip for this summer.

Also trying to coordinate a date with Andy, Carrie, Shane, Amanda, Jake, Kendi, Mark, Carla, and Trent for our yearly camping weekend over the summer. Okay, by coordinate I mean that I talked with Andy about it, got an email from Jake saying he's thinking about a good date, and thought about calling Shane.

More calls tonight, definitely.

Heading for home now.

Yes, I realize I still haven't finished the Seattle story, or posted pictures. Yeesh, what do you people expect from me??? *smirk*
