A Road Less Travelled

Last night Theresa used a recipe she hasn’t in a while and made a pork sweet and sour sauce to go over rice. It were yummy. During dinner James regaled us with his brilliant moves as Turkey in the Diplomacy game currently going on at Samaritan. I expressed my severe surprise that Russia is still trusting Turkey after he’s been backstabbed twice now. (Russia, if you’re reading this, don’t trust him anymore!) Toby was actually the one who remembered to do One Good Thing, though when we got to him apparently the only good thing that had happened to him yesterday was that we came over for dinner. My personal favorite One Good Thing was Isaac’s. He told us all about going to some stores with Crystal and buying some toys. He got a stuffed Superman, an alien, a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie and a pink bunny. Somehow it seemed very typical of him.

We wrapped up kinda early last night because James had to get up at stupid:30 this morning to go to Chicago and we didn’t want him to fall asleep at the wheel and die, but we still had time to talk about Harriet the Spy, John LeCarre, research stories and children’s literature. A well-rounded conversation, wouldn’t you agree?
