Last night I get a surprise call from Mark. He, his roomate Aashish, and his roomate’s sister Angelie who is visiting from India stopped by to check out the pad. Afterwards we headed downtown for a late dinner. It was actually hard to find a place willing to serve us a meal at 11:00 but eventually we found Sam Millers, and it was delightful. I had the scintillating salmon éntree, and a pleasant evening of stimulating intellectual conversation. I can’t express much I’ve missed that.
