Courtney threw a surprise 30th birthday BBQ for Roy today in Elgin. I got to see some old chums and marvel at the ridiculous number of children and pregnancies.


Everyone cleared out early due to the aforementioned children and pregnancies, and Roy and I got to catch up like gentlemen over a couple glasses of bourbon and permethrin mosquito incense. The best thing about old friends is that you can pick up right where you left off, which is perfect for someone who hates talking on the phone, emailing, or any other accepted method of staying in touch.
