I got invited Saturday night to a gathering... not by the property owners so much as by Ivy, who is a close friend of all. I was expecting a group of 5-6 people, maybe. When I pulled up, there were a score of cars and motorcycles parked in the yard, at least.

I was eating a Fat Mo's burger there at the end, a weekend reward. ;) It's so nice to meet new people, and to have your friends lookin' out for ya, y'know? I hope all of you have that.
