Lunch with Old Friends and Beer at the Terrace

I spent Friday morning working at Becky's office in the TDS building. For lunch, Becky had arranged to meet some of my old coworkers/friends for buffet lunch at the Maharajah. So we met and ate with Dave, Mike, and Jim. All three of them have new babies at home so most of our conversation revolved around the topic of children. It is only a little weird to be outside the Epic crowd...and it reassured me that I made the right decision leaving five years ago.

After lunch I got to meet Kylan. Jess and Rob drove all the way from Milwaukee to see me. We spent the afternoon together. We went to the Terrace and had some beer. Well, Kylan didn't get any beer no matter how much he asked for it. I must say that I am entirely impressed with Jess and Rob. They are still themselves with the baby and the family-love is just so strong that it radiates from them all. When we got to the bottom of the pitcher we went for a stroll up State St. before heading to Becky's for dinner. We had an old favorite - Glass Nickel. Honestly, I'm glad Jess and Rob remembered because I had shamefully forgotten about Glass Nickel...even though it was a staple in my Madison diet.
