On Thursday nights at Canvas, we have free dinner. As you might guess from the title, we cook soup! We have a Costco nearby, so we stocked up on Lloyd Grossman's soups and a few other brands that are all quite tasty. At 8pm students come over to Canvas to warm up with some hot soup and bread followed by games, poker, the pub, or just chatting. There is also an open mic night at a nearby pub called The Soak that we often go to after dinner. We have students at Canvas that like to play at that open mic and so it is fun to go watch and listen to them play. Poker has been a big hit this semester and as you can imagine, Mike loves it. He already won one time! And as always, table tennis and foosball are quite popular on Thursday nights.
We went to the city last night to run some errands. We finally got an umbrella which we have been needing lately. The cold and rainy days are upon us now in Birmingham. We also had to get Mike's macbook to the Apple store because his battery is slowly expanding. Apparently that was a common problem on his version of the macbook pro, but it is the strangest thing. It is literally expanding and popping open. So we will be sharing my computer for the next few days until he goes to his appointment at the Genius Bar. Hoping to watch the Tech game tonight while we attempt to wallpaper over the new plaster work. Go Jackets!
