I had my day out with my old college friends. No matter how much time passes, we pick up right where we left off and it's as if we were never apart. I can honestly say I love these guys. We met at Linnea Bakery for coffee and sweet rolls. It was a beautiful sunny day so we sat outside and the laughing began. I never laugh as much as when I'm with these guys! We ended up sitting there for quite some time and before we knew it it was time to go to Parkside. I had arranged for a tour of the new theatre. Another old, dear friend who now works at Parkside met us and was our tour guide. Wow! Has UW - Parkside changed. The main theatre is still there and still looks great but there is a new smaller space too and two or three rehearsal spaces. The costume shop, where I spent many long hours, is no longer in the basement but has a beautiful new main floor home. It was awesome!
After our tour we headed back downtown and had a drink at the new Rustic Road Brewery. I had a killer Bloody Mary! Soon, it was time for dinner so we headed over to Ashling on the Lough for some authentic Irish food. This is probably my favorite restaurant in town. We were going to go to the Hob Nob but at the last minute they decided it might be too expensive so we changed it up. At Ashling, my god, we laughed. These guys are the more naturally funny people I know. I had tears in my eyes from laughter.
Next time, we hope more of the group can make it. We're going to pick a date and hope it's far enough in advance that everyone can be there. In the meantime, I have some great memories and Sunday just added to them. Old friends are really the best.
