My parents have a birds nest on the front porch and the state of the baby birds in the nest has been a source of discussion and entertainment all Summer. When we got down initially one of the baby birds had fallen out of the nest and my dad put it back in on a couple of pieces of cardboard. We were speculating on whether or not it was dead. Apparently there are 3 babies in the nest and they appear to be doing okay.
Today one of the baby birds sort of flew/fell down onto the floor of the porch. It ended up hopping under a bush in front of the house. Somehow it got back up to the nest and there are still 3 babies there.
tonight Allison and I went to a comedy show at the Wharf. IT was pretty good. Allison and I brought down the age range of the audience but the comedians were even younger. It was an okay show and we had fun. It wasn’t the best comedy we’ve seen nor was it the worst.
I gave Allison tickets to see Gary Gulman at Foxwoods as part of her Christmas gift. We are fans of his from way back. However, we’ve never seen him LIVE before. I was so excited to get there and see him. We drove down after school and had a nice dinner at Stony Creek which was a restaurant right next to the Fox Theater.
While we were there they had an acoustic singer. He played a whole bunch of songs and they were done well. It was a nice meal and the atmosphere was fun. Allison had a flight of beers which she enjoyed. The setup there was weird. You had to go to the bar to get drinks and then you had to order food at another window and wait till it came back and then you got a text saying it arrived. The food was good, though.
After dinner we walked over to the theater and got our seats. We ended up in nearly the back row but the theater is a nice intimate one. Gary had a friend as the opener. She was pretty low key. I had not heard of her before and she was okay. The vibe did not really fire us up, though. Gary came out and he started off a bit low energy, too. However, as the show progressed he had some really great stuff. He had Allison rolling at one point. I know I was laughing out loud several times. When the show as over Gary announced that there would be a meet and greet. I did not know that he would be doing that and I was happy. We headed downstairs and waited in line to meet Gary. He was really nice to chat with us and take a photo with us.
When we got home I learned that this weekend would be a free HBO weekend. Gary has a new special on HBO called The Great Depresh. Allison and I will watch it on Sunday night.
