Still Crazy After All These Years

North left today, the last of the ex-pats to do so after their annual pilgrimage home. It's always a bit tough to see them leave but at the same time a bit of a relief. Having them home means I'll never struggle to find a partner in crime but their departure also means that summer is waning and that I'll have to find new excuses, other then "it's so-and-so's last night", to get Normy moving.
These guys are some of my oldest friends and I spend their time home trying to make sure they have as much fun as possible so they will have fond memories of home and think about making the move back here at some point. It becomes a job that doesn't pay, so my pocketbook will be happy to see them go as much as my soul might not. Hopefully the work paid off somewhat; these guys are mint.

Curnie - congrats on your wedding. Things have worked out well for you over there; she would be way out of your league in North America.

Thanks -
To the Taipei crew - for the Big Smooth shirt - it's getting plenty of wear and in a few years that thing will be worth more then a #7 Falcons jersey.
To Nicki(Corporal Punishment) - for reminding my mom that my friends, while insane, are just about the best people in the world. And also for giving me a year's worth of stupid shit that will make me laugh in the middle of the night.
To North - for being gracious in Trivial Pursuit defeat for the 12th straight year. There's always next year...and you might be taller than me then too.
To Lindsay - for putting up with North
To all - for making me laugh...a lot.

Safe Travels...ya freaks and weirdos.

Si,
Sweet post but you got some of it wrong. That was your first Trivial Pursuit win in twelve years.

I will admit that your are a fraction of a milimetre taller than me but just remember I will always be older and smarter than you.
