A Nice Change of Scenery
Today I met Bob for lunch. Bob is one of the full-time staff members of the grounds crew. It was nice to catch up and get to visit with someone different for a change. I like Bob, we get along well. This evening I went to the bar with the guys from work. We went to The Runway bar in Hermantown. The reason for going there was it was $1 for a conny dog, $1 for fries, and like three something for a pitcher. The bar was pretty nice, it's recently been renovated. After a while, all the bikers showed up, which was interesting, but the bar still wasn't crowded. There were guys there with big cameras and lights for quite a while, so I don't know, we'll see, maybe we'll end up in a commercial. Afterwards, we went to one of the guys' house to hang out for a while. I have to say, he lives in one of the nicest houses I've ever seen, rental or not. It was one of those giant old houses that you would expect someone to rent out to college students, but only it was completely renovated, probably within the last couple of years. It wasn't a crappy job like you'd expect in a rental place either, this was really nice. Anyway, it was nice to hang out with some other people for a change. Everyone else I see, I or they, have to travel long distance to hang out. Apparently I don't have any friends left in Duluth (other than my room mates, the good ones... and Mike), they've all moved away or don't care, but it will be okay. Some of them are moving back soon, and I visit all the other ones quite frequently.
