Friday Night Was INSANE

Hey gang - hope you're having a wonderful weekend. Still riding high off that show with Maria and Scott on Thursday. That was really fun!  It's been nice being home for a bit and taking it a little easy, picking up the kids from school and hanging with them. Funny kids! 

Last night, we went out for some sushi down the road, and on the way back, Marilyn had to drop off something to another parent - They were the parents of Charlie's best pal at the school, so Charlie and Marilyn ran up to the house and went in, while Millie and I hung back. Marilyn came back a few minutes later and was like - We have to go in.  Oy. A visit. 

We went in and the woman, let's call her A. was like, you're staying for dinner! And we said, oh no we just ate but then the man came out... lets call him C... and was like, no, no, you have to stay... He then produced about 10 giant skewers of raw meat that he was prepping to grill.  This was very Armenian! Super friendly, but... you are our guests and we are going to feed you. There's no question about it. "What do you want to drink?" he asked... I saw he had many bottles of all kinds of whiskey and scotch. I didn't want to be rude and had a little Jack Daniels.  So, here I am now, a minute ago on the way home to get ready for our softball practice, sitting in a stranger's home (ok I had met them briefly a few times) having a drink and awaiting grilled meat to eat. 

Of course, the kids are in heaven - they've acquainted their home to be very kid-friendly, with arcade games, a popcorn machine, all kinds of games and toys...

We loosened up and had a friendly chat while the meat was being grilled - A made a really delicious salad that I'm eager to try at home: just raw beets, cut real thing with cilantro, lemon, olive oil, salt and garlic powder.  They also had some buckwheat grain dish, like a rice that was very good. The meat was very well seasoned and nicely grilled. It was delish! 

We left Charlie with them and headed to Softball practice which we learned after getting there had been CANCELLED!  But we did throw the ball around for a bit and ran into a few people who also didn't know it was cancelled. WE talked local politics for a bit, as there's a primary election coming up and a vote for Glendale City Council. My friend, let's call him D, was telling me about Karen Kwak! What! He was very into her and she seemed alright to me! I'm gonna try and get her on the show next week and will ask Vic and Doug to abstain from any duck sounds... If you're in Glendale take a look at Karen Kwak! 

Did my clickbait title get ya?  It was ironic as it wasn't all that insane, was it? 

Off to Toronto tonight on the Red Eye for more Shadows but will be back time for Office Hours LIVE next week! 

Until then, 

ALL THE BEST!  - t
