The rain here right now is incredible. I haven't experienced such intense rain in a long time. I don't know whether it's related to hurricane Ophelia or what, but this is quite a storm.
Had a good breakfast at Jine's this morning with my parents on Park Ave. Took a walk in the (at that time, light) rain down Berkeley street.
I had a really great night out last night at the Lux. I went at about ten with Amol and my parents.. hooked them up with some
Saranac and a White Russian and sat around the camp fire (yes, my friends, this is a freaky bar that includes an outdoor campfire, picnic tables, a hammock for two, and other accoutrements). I was amused to introduce them to a girl who was also sitting at the campfire--she laughed and explained that her parents had visited a week ago, and had been totally sketched out by rochester. ("I don't think I could have dragged them out here.") Bree arrived when she finished work, and at some point my parents left.
Amol and Bree and I enjoyed many more Saranac Adirondack lagers. The three of us enjoyed rocking in the two-person-limit hammock till some of the cords started snapping. Then we initiated a massage chain.
