unitarian whodunit

a late add to my plans for my birthday was attending a play. it was a 'whodunit' at a unitarian house of worship in st. paul. I had seen a flyer for it at a place where I sometimes sing karaoke. i let them know what promotion worked for me. it was called 'mystery manor'. the actors were young people. memorable when looking through the program was seeing a listing for the rubber chicken, who doesn't have much stage time. what I liked was seeing the thieves move the hands on the clock just before they pull off their thievery. there were a few good laughs in it. the investigating cop was a 'bumbling idiot', balanced out by another cop. the plat lasted a little over an hour. it was all right, for community theater. and I liked getting a good look around at the artwork in the fellowship hall. the front desk said when I was departing that it changes once a month. 

   there was plenty of birthday wishes on facebook, about 20. since it is the weekend i still needed to do some of my typical errand running. the stop at the post office box yielded two e-bay orders. i stayed home after that and watched some of the state high school hockey tournmanet on TV. hermantown tied it with less than a minute left in regulation, but mahtomedi won it in OT. i actually fell asleep and missed much of it, but knew i needed to get up and watch it when it sounded like the game was almost over. then it was to the grocery store. i wanted to see it was done before attending the play. after the play, eventually i went to a second grocery store, hy-vee, to get a few items that i couldn't find at aldi. and i sang at a karoake bar, it was 'live forever' by oasis. final stop of the night was to see a once a month comedy show. i arrived while the show closer was on, somebody i had done a fringe show with. as usual, it is nice to see people i know. once the bartender found out it was my birthday, it was decided that we would do 'grape ape' shots. although i said i knew very little about liquor, as i mostly drink beer.
