Cereal Monogamist

Isn't it romantic?

How did we spend Valentine's Day? Well, the day having been set aside primarily for a birthday outing for Jeremy (he turns twenty-something-or-other on Thursday), we went at his request to the Great Lakes Science Center on the lovely Cleveland lakeshore. Some highlights:

Jeremy feeding dialogue to a talking robot (talking robot: "I like ribs! At lunch I'm going to put ribs in my belly!")

Me feeding dialogue to the talking robot (talking robot: "Jeremy is a geek!" made extra funny by the fact that the robot thought the word was pronounced 'jeek')

Playing a giant tilting pinball maze game

Building a Roman arch out of padded blocks and then excitedly destroying it by removing the keystone

Having electrical current run through us (in an exhibit which warned against people with pacemakers taking part in it and which Jeremy mostly made me do)

After the museum, we had lunch at Rick's Cafe in Chagrin Falls, then came home, where Jeremy went immediately to bed (he's mostly nocturnal now, of course) and I did some studying, watched about three hours of videos on VH1 Classic and had cheese and crackers for dinner.

All in all, a really nice day! Much preferred to some of the more hackneyed Valentine's traditions.
