Last Minute Pre-New Year Activities

Two weeks before New Year's day, David and I had a marathon activity "splurge". David, primarily, wanted to take advantage of the dinner coupons from his coupon books, so we dined at Baxter's at the Radisson Hotel with his friend, Richard; at the Palladio at the Hyatt Hotel; Divino (formerly The Greenhouse Cafe) at the Holiday Inn Hotel etc.


We also watched concerts and movies, primarily, Tim Schramm's Concert at the New Auditorium Theatre (sponsored by the Rochester Theater Organ Society) which was totally touching and marvelous, Our Body Exhibit at the Rochester Museum which left me in awe as to the method the used in preserving the human body parts (because I just finished a semester of Human Anatomy course). We were supposed to watch the exhibit in Montreal (with Pam) last fall but the tickets cost twice there. In the Rochester exhibit I also asked two brothers if they were actors because the older one looks like Josh Hartnett while the other looks like Channing Tatum. Well, that's another story.


Also, David received tickets from his friend to The Little Theater which we should use before Dec. 31. So, we went to see two different movies. I watched...



which is imperfect storywise but perfectly magnificent in mood that left the audience crying in the end. (My former journalism professor was the former president of "The Little").


David, on the other hand, watched...



Then, Pam, on Dec. 31 called and asked us if we would like to use the tickets given to her son by "The Little". It was too late as we came home late in the afternoon and we had to attend a concert at church (I worked with the media).
