I had some various activities to do but I was hardly busy.  The office was busy though, a good number of patients made their way through.  I had a date at 6:30 but I was pretty bored by five so I had dad take me down Carrollton to a camera shop that was nearby where Melanie and I were having dinner.  Unfortunately there wasn&#8217;t a whole lot to look at in the camera shop so I didn&#8217;t stay long.  I still had over an hour before I was to meet Melanie so I stopped in a couple of the other nearby stores Ace Hardware, the Sprint Store, Blockbuster.  I still had lots of time though so I went to an ice cream shop a couple doors down from Venezia where I was to have dinner.  I got a cup of ice cream and sat down with a copy of the Gambit for a little while.  I moved to a table at Venezia shortly after six.  Melanie showed up on time at 6:30.  I had the stuffed shells, a small but quite adequate dish.  After dinner we took a streetcar towards the river to Canal Place.  We went to see the 10 o&#8217;clock showing of The Merchant of Venice.  We got downtown before eight though so we sat in the Wyndam lobby and talked for a while until the movie started.  The movie was quite good.  I&#8217;m hardly a Shakespeare fan but his play was beautifully rendered on the silver screen.   Al Pachino gave an excellent performance.  After the movie Melanie and I went back to the lobby for an hour or so to sit around before going home.  Shortly after one, we got a cab home.  I rode home with Melanie to her house and then went home myself.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dad and I went to the office for 11 this morning.
