We took a trip with the Settles tonight out to see Television Preview, a way to watch pilot shows and comercials and provide our feedback. As we have similar tastes in what programs are our favorites, it was fun to compare notes with them after the two viewings. The first one involved a TV Series based on the movie Dead Again, and was rather choppy and didn't hang well together, while the second involving the lead actress from Rhoda was a sitcom and had a number of good jokes, better than most sitcoms we see these days. The ads, well, they were ads, and not very convincing, the most amusing was trying to convince people to use wet toilet paper. And it seemed the ads were the only really important part to the survey people... I personally had more fun talking with Laura about our answers than the actual watching of the shows.

For desert and a treat, we headed across the street to the Cold Stone Creamery. It's a very busy spot where they mix your ice cream while you watch with your choice of ingredients. I chose the Cheesecake Fantasy, while Laura went with the Strawberry Shortcake, both of which made our mouths water and filled us up for a few days. We reminisced about college days and plans for future houses and pets with the Settles (both girls want chickens for some reason, and will most likely get them someday) until the cold night air overtook us, sending us home with a chill and good memories of an evening with friends.
