Visitors

Tim & Jamin came down to hang out with us last night. To be quite honest, I wasn't sure if I was up for it or not. But it was a wonderful evening. We went to the grocery store and bought the ingredients for Tim to make a beautiful pasta dish all from scratch. Lots of candles, good music, & quality company. It was good to catch up with them. I'd seen Jamin at Shorb's wedding, but it's probably been a year since Tim and I have actually gotten to sit down and talk without a whole lot of noise and other stuff going on to prevent it. So, it was a great evening and I hope they come down again soon.

The mission for the day is this. Phil and I are going to go down to the used book store down the block and get some reading material. Three reasons for this. One, we've gotten into a huge rut of wasting our evenings away playing an X-box football game for the past 3 weeks and it really isn't the best use of time, especially if it's every night. Two, I have been talking about putting together the 'books to read' list all my life and there's absolutely no excuse why it shouldn't happen now. I've sat here for a bit with a pad of paper, writing down titles that I can remember I've said I would put on the list. If anyone has any that should be on there, please leave me a message. Thirdly, a great place to read is a good cafe or coffee shop. We live in a good sized city and chances are there are a few out there. We need to find one or two and frequent them as a good place to do some reading a few nights a week. The added bonus here would be that we're out and about and in situations where we could meet people.... maybe make a few friends as well. So, that's the plan.
