The Corey Hart who sang about wearing his sunglasses at night in the early '80s is not in fact the same Corey Hart who came to the Open Eye Cafe in Carrboro, N.C., on Friday evening, a fact that Erica and I established after some initial confusion as we made our plans for the weekend. We still went to Open Eye Cafe and Corey Hart still played; however, we resisted the temptation to call out a request for the inimitable "Sunglasses at Night." Something tells me the fake Corey Hart has heard that joke (many times) before.
We were passive listeners on Friday as we enjoyed our coffee and a game of Scrabble (note: the real Corey Hart would've had my full attention, Scrabble be damned). Erica was a good sport during our friendly game and therefore did not protest my use of the word "qintar," which I never even knew existed until reading the Scrabble tips that come as part of the game's instructions.
Perhaps Erica just stored up her aggression for later; she was throwing some wicked jabs and hooks during our end-of-weekend Wii boxing match on Sunday night. I'm pretty sure I heard her mutter "Don't be afraid of the guy in shades" during the fight.
