Hey, we met up at a restaurant! I wasn't hungry so all I had was a
chocolate shake, Mike and Anne could have certainly eaten something if they
liked. I figured that they weren't hungry.
I Also tried my best to be on time to the meeting, I'm usually pretty
punctual like that but was caught up at work as I was trying to leave and
then stuck in construction traffic. Glad they were able to make it to the
sticks to meet up with you and the trip was uneventful.
On a side note, the first time I clicked on reply I was all set to send a
nice quip your way, but instead I received a BSOD and subsequentially my
train of thought left me waiting at the station while my PC rebooted. (just
in case you weren't sure, win98 = DIE)
