Here’s Jerry’s take on the evening - he probably edited that about 15 times. Virginia’s is here.

We provided quite a scene at Harry’s. Waitress couldn’t take our order we were so busy talking and laughing. She said “Obviously you guys haven’t seen each other in a long time so I don’t want to rush you.” I didn’t have the heart to tell her the truth.

Good food, great friends, lots of laughter. And even though we had two lurkers in the midst (Cathy H. and Amy), I’ve got to imagine that the Lord’s Supper was like that in the beginning. (You do realize that at first, the Lord’s Supper was a full meal, right?) There are times when you hang out with people and it feels like work - not necessarly bad just work. Not last night. I felt refreshed and revived.

Paul, Cathy and the Englishes then headed to Jeremiah’s Italian Ice. Somehow we lost Andrew and Virginia along the way (they are newly married so…well…you know…they probably…well, never mind.)

Did we miss Rob and Patricia? Technically - yes we did. For at least 2 minutes. That was when somebody reminded us that they were in Vancouver and probably weren’t thinking about us at all.

Random Phrases Of The Night:

“If you were going to give Alabama an enema, Warrior would be where you would start.”

“You know that double-wide trailer at the other end of the football field (in Warrior)? That was my grandparents house.”

“You are so photogenic!” “So what you’re really saying is - You’re incredibly ugly in real life.”

“I’ll have you know, [name withheld to protect the guilty] not only wears a Speedo but a bathing cap as well!!”

“How many daily visitors do you have?”

“How do you stay employed with your blog, Grant?”

“I don’t spell check my blog because Cathy reads it. If there’s something wrong in it, I’ll know within 30 seconds of posting.”

Good times, good times….

Next week, right?
