life is funny sometimes.  sometimes you end up hanging out with an old acquaintance and  former ex-boyfriend of three of your friends, because you've known each other for along time and it's nice to be reminded of 'home' and to be with someone you've known for a long time.

something about a little nostalgia, a shared history, even it if it comes with different perspectives, and a couple of snarky senses of humor, makes the longing to return to my east coast roots just a tad more bearable.

top it off with an excellent meal at a cool location, and you can call an evening a success.
