Tonight, after work, I headed over to Justine & Vander’s place for drinks with the gang. I inherited a group of gals from Micky who over time have expanded to be a group of gals and guys. Marriages, babies, and time have come and gone. Getting together is really tough to do, and so when we get to do it (and hell, we’re going to do it twice this weekend) it’s a really great chance to just let loose and relax.<\/p>\n
I finally saw the McClain’s place. The remodel was gorgeously done. There are mounts of animal heads all over the place. I guess you can take a boy out of Oklahoma, but you can’t take the Oklahoma out of the boy \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
Then a small sub-crew headed over to Zazie’s where we ate too much, and laughed too hard.<\/p>\n
