Tonight I met up with Ali downtown to give her a key for the apartment. After sitting at the Reed Opera House, we walked around downtown and had dinner together at SOBA. As Katie has mentioned, it’s nice that Ali and I have a chance to get to know each other as friends before moving in. I mentioned over Phad Tai I wasn’t going to go to Irish dancing tonight as I had too much to do but when her eyes lit up on “Irish dancing”, we ran back to my apartment so I could change into something easier to dance in. So there we are in my living room dancing some of the basic steps when Katie comes home. Ali takes one look at her and exclaimes, “Katie!” and Katie shouts, “Ali!” soon followed by a dual, “How ARE you?” At this point I go into the kitchen and put away dishes while they catch up on a decade of seperation. It turns that unbeknownst to me, my roommates worked together at a pizza shop when they were in high school. As Ali also likes cookie dough, this bodes well for us as roommates. It’s a small world after all…
Tomorrow promises to be a full day with lots to do. I’ll try and get a post out in the morning as I will be in Portland after that until late evening.
