We went to our first cookout of the year today. Not the best weather for it, but at least it didn’t rain (while we were there, anyway–it’s raining now.). A guy Brian used to work with had a party and invited a bunch of people from Brian’s old workplace, so it gave him an opportunity to catch up with some of his old friends and to meet some new people that are now working there. Jake got to play with some kids, so he was happy. I got to pet two well-behaved dogs, so I was happy. I guess you could call it a good day for all of us.
