First, Stewie and I picked nicknames for them. Jack is about 2 years younger than me, a native Vermonter. If he were a dog, he'd be a Jack Russel Terrier. Josiah is in the age group known as "my parents" (his son is Goose's age). He just transferred to Charlote from NoVa, but he is a native of Buffalo and huge Sabres fan.

So, Thursday some of the girls at work invited me to go to a wine bar on Friday. I told Jack that I'd not be doing happy hour with them. He decided he'd come with us (other guys were coming). Josiah came along as well. I had a wonderful time- I have not had much female interaction as of late. The boys looked bored.

They were bored. They didn't like the atmosphere, and Josiah is still complaining that he spent $12 on a glass of wine.

The girls were going to another bar. I gave the guys the keys to my rental car. Found some nice neighborhoods in Gainesville (I've mostly seen the college neighborhoods, which are as you would imagine.) We hung out and they dropped me off at my hotel.

Yesterday we went out to Cedar Key with another co-worker and his mom. We had lunch, walked around for a little bit, and then drove back. I enjoyed the town, but we didn't spend enough time.

After we got back, I took a nap. Then I went and hung out at Borders for a while. (The Barnes & Noble here has no cafe. And no couches. Is stupid.) Came back, read, watched TV, went to bed.

Josiah called me this morning (woke me up) to see if I wanted to go to breakfast. We went to breakfast, where the boys complained about how bored they were. I've not been bored at all. But then again, I've been known to spend entire weekends by myself.

Plus, the book I'm reading? Really good.
