Wednesday was a pleasant evening to stay inside:  we had torrential rains. That ruled out going mini-golfing with our friends Matt and Clarice, but happily we still got together to watch a movie. Matt got pizza, and Clarice had a co-worker over to wait out the rains, and we watched After the Thin Man, the sequel to The Thin Man, an older detective film. After the Thin Man followed the lighthearted, heavy-drinking Nick and his ever-patient wife, Nora, and they solved the mystery of who shot the jerk husband of Nora’s cousin. It had a wonderful balance of humor and mystery, and I did not guess the solution to the mystery. Great film.

After the movie, we sat around and chatted for about an hour, touching on nerd-topics like the TV shows Doctor Who and Lost. Mer and I had to head home after that because I had to work the next morning, but it was a good midweek getaway.
