Random Act of Gratitude #86: A Chaotic Evening with Good People

It started with Sonya letting me know that traffic from Toronto was bad. She was taking an alternate route, Charlotte was on her way.

I made it to the restaurant second, meeting Becky who was already there. We chatted and consumed soft drinks whilst awaiting Sonya's arrival.

By the time she arrived, we were starting to be pressed for time, but figured we'd be alright.

Sonya arrived. We ordered. Charlotte arrived shortly afterwards and ordered.

We sat. We chatted. We waited. Time passed.

By the time our food arrived, we were in scarfing time. And scarf we did, throwing back our meals in minutes.

Off we were to the theatre to meet Cliff, Kyle, and Becky's friend. Kyle called. He'd missed a bus.

We got seated and, at the last minute, Kyle arrived and our group was complete.

We saw the show, met Claire afterward and then it was the crazy dash down the hill some bar/restaurant thing. You have no idea how old I felt in a van packed with university students. Haha! They knew the words to Britney Spears' song "Circus". All of the words. Seriously.

Despite the very loud and not-very-good band, we managed to visit and chat and generally make one another laugh. Jon joined us for a bit, Sonya was late getting there (having had to drop off some of our group en route), but a good time was had.

Whew, I'm exhausted just reading about how rushed everything was...
