I knew Friday was not going to be a normal day when I started the day out by telling the executive director of the agency I work for that he stinks, as in smells bad, so he wouldn't sit by me in a meeting.
Kristin, Joel, Amanda and I went to the Holly Hotel in Holly, MI to see Members Only do some improvising. The comedy club is in the basement of the hotel and it was freezing! The staff had set up some space heaters but they didn't really help. It's a good thing the improv was fabulous!
After improv we went to Mr. B's in Clarkston to see the band, Good Gravy, play. For those of you who haven't been reading, Kristin's brothers are in the band. I had never been to Mr. B's and was impressed by the number of large trucks in the parking lot. The people there were great. There were women with big hair and tiger stripe shirts and men with gold chains and Hard Rock Cafe sweatshirts. Tony, an 80ish year old man, was there dancing in his Sunday best, a pastel plaid suit and gold tie. Impressive! This dude walked in and Joel and I commented that he looked familiar. We both thought he looked like Amanda's ex-boyfriend. And it was. I wonder if he frequents Mr. B's. I remembered that he liked the Journey so we asked the band if they knew any. Unfortunately they didn't. But after they were done playing they, with Kristin, sang some lovely Journey numbers a capella. I'm hoping they will perform some the next time I see them.
I rode with Kristin and on the way home she was driving down I-75 southbound. We were listening to an awesome song by The Postal Service when all of a sudden the truck in front of us swerved out of our lane. There was a dead deer right in the middle of our lane! Kristin and I screamed!! But it was too late!! BBBDUMPBUMPBUMP... bump. We ran over it. Thank God for Kristin's stellar driving skills. As she pointed out to the state police when she called to report the road hazard, it could have been dangerous if she had approached it differently. When we got back to her house we looked at her car and the grill was broken and there was some blood. Yuck!!
Last night was Julie's annual Groundhog Day party. I was exhausted from not getting home until 3AM the night (morning) before!! Kristin had pictures on her camera of her car. In the light of day she saw more blood and some fur (gross!)...even on the back of her car!! Jesse had to do improv at the Holly Hotel again and said he would call when he got home and meet me at the party. I realized I had left my cell phone at home so left the party to meet him at home. Unfortunately, I am old and fell asleep on the couch. By the time he got home it was 1:15AM and there was no way in HELL I was going back out. Sorry, Julie! I suck! How I long for the days of partying 4 nights a week with Seth and still having energy to go to work.
Watch out for dead deer on the road.

One time Erica had a dead bird stuck in her grill and didn't even notice it. It was so nasty. Didn't Joel also drive around with a bird skull in his grill for a while? I don't think I have any animal parts on my car. Not today, anyway!
At my old ferndale apartment, i used to park next to a fence into which a bird, either dumb or blind, flew strait-on. It's headless body remained stuck there for a few weeks, and every day I considered disposing of it properly. But, I was usually in a hurry to just get in the car and go.
Have a good week. -kvb
P.S. I am forming an a capella vocal group with the members of good gravy. although we don't know quite how this fascinating project may evolve, our primary focus is currently journey covers. check for scheduled performances at a nursing home near you.
