Surviving South Hadley

Last night we attended yet another cookout at our neighbors' house. I swear, these people have a party every couple weeks. Anyway, we were pleased to be invited over for food, drink, and conversation with a broad spectrum of folks. Including Dawn the Dinosaur.

About 15 minutes after we arrived we realized that Dawn was not going to be the hottest celebrity at the party. Dan The Man was there. Sure, he's a retired astronaut and all that. But more importantly, he was on Survivor. And he lives in South Hadley.

I restrained myself from saying anything to Dan about his stint on Survivor, as I'm certain he's sick of hearing all that. (Even though I secretly wanted to hear all about his experience and perhaps even ask for his autograph.) We chatted briefly about what a calm, good-natured baby Tai is and how lucky we are to have scored such a good little boy. And that was it.

We'll be sure to continue to attend our neighbors' parties in the future, because you never know who you are going to meet!
