I had a great visit from my friend and college roommate, Amanda the past few days. Her family's been through a particularly hard last month (last year, really) and so I'm doubly glad that she was able to make it up here for even a few short days. And it was a good excuse to make it over to Joel's (btw, the Red Snapper Nirvana lives up to all the hype...oh yes) and shop for shoes. And we spent last night singing karaoke with our friend John (who I just found out was in town) at the Brick House. I forgot how much fun that can be...especially on a Tuesday night when the bar is nearly empty and we can just goof around...and relieve the bar staff from yet another Bon Jovi song. (Honestly, buddy, after three of their songs we
get that you're a fan...no need to perform their entire ouvre in one night. Even if it
is your friend Milk Dud's birthday.)
