A Week Full of Friends

This past week I had some opportunities to socialize, so do you know what I did? I socialized!

Tuesday night there was a farewell gathering in the park for Nicole. Of course I didn't get a picture of Nicole, but look! Here's a picture of me!

I can't exactly remember if Ned said he wanted this picture on the internet or not. He probably said he did.

Then the next night Tara organized a trip out to Fu Ran in Flushing for a friendly Chinese feast. I didn't take pictures of any of the food! I was too busy eating. We had amazing cumin lamb ribs and a whole fish in spicy bean sauce that had the flavoring of tacos al pastor...wonder what was going on there, scientifically...and a lot of other great stuff. We even got to eat in the party room.

Then Saturday night was Ty and Emily's 20's-themed engagement party. Like a genius I didn't get any pictures of the couple, but you can see what they look at a Chinese restaurant in the above photo. And here's Emily right here.

It was a great opportunity to see some friends I hadn't seen in a while, like Chris

And Joe and the Sowards

But Jeff was there, too. Looking just like James Joyce.

Oh here's Ty

and there's Brook

And here's Chris again

What was everyone doing over there at the table?

Just checking out all the Polaroids from the photo booth.

oh and here's my boss Kristin

On the way home, Marge behind bars on my block

And then, as if that wasn't enough, late Sunday night I met Bryndee and Helen (in from Salt Lake for the US Open) for bedtime tacos at the El Idolo truck.

Ok, well. there you have it. Let's hear it for friends!
