back to the hood

I was back in walpole for a very brief period, for Brendan's birthday. Baby Brendan is officially 21! It was a good time and it was nice to see the fam for a few days. So I flew in Monday night and we all had dinner together. Tuesday I caught up on some game playing with MB. That night I made pizza, went to coffee with mom and out to play pool with Bean. Bean and I played a few mean games of pool, then hit up the Dance, Dance Revolution game for a bit. It was fun--I love that game! Wednesday was the big day and we went to American Joe's Bar & Grill, where my mom decided to grace the waiter with a story of how becuase Brendan was born in leap-year, his real birthday was not the 16th, it's the 17th. That caused problems as you might imagine, but the waiter took it all in stride and then told my mom that maybe she needed a shot! Thursday, I went to see Robots with MB and then packed and left for the airport. Now, after a few fiascos with Nichole going to 'arrivals' instead of 'departures' and Josh getting real, real lost in the Boston and the parking lots of the airport, I made my way to my terminal. At my terminal, I decided to get one last good fish meal at Legal Seafoods. Well, I was dining alone, but that didn't last long. This guy asked if he could sit with me and just started chatting away. Honestly, it was a great coversation and he was a really interesting guy. I just wish he wasn't living in Philly! I was impressed that in minutes of meeting him, we were talking in depth about philsophy, religion, and aspects of the law. It was decidedly better than reading my trademark law review articles. Ha ha. Serioulsy, it was a great little date and it gave me more hope that interesting men do exist and can be found, even if it's at the airport...hahaha.
