Old friends

[resqgeek]

We had company for dinner last night. My best friend from my college days was in town, and he came over with his fiance for dinner. I haven't seen him in several years, so it was a treat. He was one of my rescue geek buddies during school, and it was fun to rehash the old stories. His fiance is another EMT, so she seemed to enjoy the "war" stories as well. I also enjoyed cooking for company, which I don't get to do very often (I smoked some country-style ribs, and served them with cole slaw, potato salad, and a salad made with black beans, corn, green and red peppers).

My friend and his fiance were came to town to meet his fiance's sister and brother-in-law. Her parents decided to join them, and it eventually grew to become a full fledged family reunion. Unfortunately, that meant that they only had a limited amount of time to spend at our place. As nice as it was to see him again, and meet his fiance, I couldn't help but be disappointed when they left early to meet her relatives for a night time tour of the monuments downtown.

My parents arrive tomorrow evening, so at least I have something to look forward to...
