The first exciting thing that happened was that SIMONE visited. That was great. She is our best friend and we do not see her very much. We were overjoyed. She came. She plopped down on the floor and began facebooking immediately.
So we did likewise. Except we were on the bed.
Simone then preceded to creep about poor Mrs. Moore's house in search of Shred Ninja. She found him in the kitchen and said hello.
I had to go to work. Elizabeth took Simone to the Shrine of the Little Flower and apparently they frolicked in the gardens.
They ate some ice cream at Bloomberry. This was somewhat awkward because we both applied for jobs there (we never called them back) and because the lovely lad behind the counter asked us to party with him (we declined) but obviously the craving for ice cream was greater than the social faux pas of returning because here is Simone chomping away:
They returned from Bloomberry and I returned from Godiva and showed Simone some treasures from Awkward Family Photos Dot Com:
Simone left the next day after a talk about politics, education, marriage, perversion, God, child leashes, dysfunction, old boyfriends, new boyfriends, and food that lasted until four in the morning. We do that often. On Sunday Elizabeth and I went with the delightful Bradley downtown for Mass, pizza, Tigers, and Red Wings. This was wonderful. St. Mary's Church was simply the bomb and we both very much enjoyed celebrating Mass in a building that is FREAKING COOL and lifts our minds to the supremely majestic qualities of God.
Yeah the church gets two pictures because let's face it people this building is just off the chain.
After Mass we just kind of walked around Greektown and observed culture, homeless people, pizza, lights, street artists, cars, people and the like:
This one bakery had a great strawberry lookin type deal. I was digging it. We prudently refrained from buying anything in that bakery.
The casino was across the street. Not that we even considered going because we are as poor as a bag of bricks. One day that will change (we hope) but even then we are not good at games and even worse with gambling games so we took this picture and left it at that.
Apparently the Lions are actually winning games this season. We mentally raised our hypothetical hats to them in encouragement as we walked by the stadium.
The Tigers' game was great. We got sunburned. We sat next to a very drunken individual who had driven up from Toledo. Our game experience consisted of playing "would you marry a person who?" with Brad. Some questions were: Would you marry a dwarf? Would you marry an ex convict? Would you marry your sibling's spouse if your poor sibling died? And many other odd things. When we left, no one was married, everyone was hot, the Tigers were winning and our drunken friend from Toledo was still as excited as ever.
Canada was right around the corner.
I had some trouble climbing the circular artwork. My opinion of downtown Detroit is not very high at all. Tis all rather ugly looking except for the church.
I have been to the Joe Louis Arena before to see the Christmas Extravaganza Concert featuring Christopher Plummer and Julie Andrews. Elizabeth has not been there before. She was obviously quite enthralled.
CAN I JUST PLEASE MARRY ONE OF THE RED WINGS??!!!!!! THEY ARE SO BEAUTIFUL AND RED AND WHITE AND TALENTED AND MWAHHHHAHA I WANT TO HAVE ONE OF YOU FOR A HUSBAND.
All in all, it was a great weekend. We are happy. Simone: stay in touch. Red Wings: please date us.
