Had a fun evening with my life and friend Eric Lidji<\/a> tonight.
\nLaurie picked me up from work today and we started the evening off with an enjoyable time shopping at Gap Body. It definitely wasn’t because of what they sell at Gap Body – but because of who I was with.
\nAfter we left, we browsed several other shops in the Mockingbird Station area before heading to Light Fantastic.
\nI remember going to Light Fantastic several times with my dad when I was growing up and he owned his own electrical business. He would go there from time to time to pick up lights and chandeliers for his customers. This time it was window shopping for us – or at least what we might like in the somewhere distant future.
\nAfter light shopping we made a visit to World Market<\/a> where Laurie grabbed a couple different bottles of wine (both apple flavored<\/a>) and I grabbed a “Make Your Own Six Pack” of various beers. A bottle of Shiner Black Lager<\/a>, a couple different bottles of St. Arnolds<\/a> and two brands I was unfamiliar with.
\nAfter our shopping trip we headed over to Cafe Brazil<\/a> (an old favorite of mine – and one of the places Laurie and I went to on our first date<\/a>) and we met up with Eric who was in town from Alaska for his sister’s Bat Mitzvah.
\nEric and I worked together for more than a year at the Waxahachie paper.
\nAlways enjoy conversations with Eric, either in person or now usually via the Interweb. He has great insight on things and great perspectives.
\nWe talked national and local (Ellis County) politics, the newspaper business, the oil business (which he now covers in Alaska) faith and general catching up.
\nIt was a great time only made better by the Chicken Chipotle Enchiladas I had for dinner.
\nAnd as the conversation wound down, Laurie and I headed back to Red Oak for a quiet wrap up to the evening.
\nTomorrow – we meet with the Home Owners Association to figure out what they’re doing with all the money they get in our neighborhood. Should make for another interesting evening.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
