Out and About

Here's a sure equation for a marvelous weekend: introduce your friend of nearly 21 years to your friend of 18 months and have them get on like a house on fire.


From l to r: B (my best friend from university), T, me
Mohegan Sun Casino
2 May 2009
From the moment we arrived on Friday, B made us right at home in her cozy house. For our part, T and I helped her cook, successfully troubleshot a few software problems B had, and upgraded her computer memory. We also got some good ideas for things we can do to make our living space as comfortable and clean as hers. Between the coziness of the house and the quietness of the neighborhood, we were almost sorry to leave.

T and I had planned to return home Saturday evening after our trip to Mohegan Sun. But at some point that afternoon B said, "Y'all don't have to go back tonight, do you?" Why, no, we didn't, as a matter of fact. We didn't get home until midnight last night. All of us had a wonderful time enjoying one another's company. There was lots of laughter, hours of good conversation, and even a good movie (Slumdog Millionaire).

On Friday B is leaving for a six-month job assignment in the DC area. T and I see a road trip in our future.

This sounds so marvelous. Here's to many more weekends!
Reading this reminds me how much I miss the companionship of girlfriends. My friends are scattered about all over the place.

My friends are scattered, too. I hadn't seen B in a few years, though we keep in touch via 'phone and email. I wanted to see her before she relocates even further away, though.

It really was a fantastic movie! It wasn't what I expected at all and I love it when that happens. And I must say that I love it when my friends meet one another and click like yours did. Happiness :)

In spite of correctly predicting what the ending would be, I enjoyed it. Jamil was likeable to the point where I couldn't help but root for him in every way. Not only that, the movie was hilarious in places without being spoof-like. It was excellently done.
