Dinner with Old Friends

Tonight we’re getting together with our San Francisco friends. Mike and Luis arranged for dinner at Destino’s (www.destinosrestaurant.com), a restaurant owned by a friend of theirs. Mike is from Minneapolis, moved to DC and now lives with Luis in San Francisco. Kelly and I were in Berlin last winter and ran into them in a bar (we had no idea they were in Germany at the same time as us). Small world. We’ve hung out with Mike in DC, on a cruise and recently we vacationed with them in Puerto Vallarta. Mike and Luis, thanks for all your help pulling dinner together!

Our friends, Steve and Eric, are also joining us. We met Steve and Eric about 8 years ago at San Francisco Pride. Steve and I were standing on the periphery of the dance floor, resting. Kelly was dancing (poorly – sorry Honey) with someone else who - let’s just say - has a lot of energy. I turned to Steve and said, (rolling my eyes) “that’s my boyfriend.” He said, “see that guy dancing with your boyfriend? That’s my boyfriend” (rolled his eyes). We’ve been friends ever since. Anyways, we’ve visited them in San Fran, they’ve come to Mpls, and a few years ago we joined them on a cruise. We’re looking forward to seeing them after a couple of years. They’re building a house in Sonoma – maybe that’s where we should have our wedding reception next year (ahem)!
