Good Times.

Had a great time on Thursday. Got to hang out with the elusive Katie from Canada. We relived a Calder trip to Chicago and had sushi at the amazing Tokyo Grill. It was great catching up and talking about various topics and current events. Tokyo Grill has some of the best sushi rice that I've ever had.

After food, we headed to the Woodland mall to kill time before we visited Liz at work. We stopped in the Apple store where we looked at iPod touch cases and where I drooled over the iMacs. Mmmm iMacs. We ended our mall trip at Barnes and Noble to take a look at the graphic novels.

We stopped my Liz's work so she would have a chance to see and talk with Katie. Liz is was on the phone with her boss talking about taking donations to help with the oil leak that had put millions of gallons of oil into the Kalamazoo river. The store is called Iskape Audiobooks.

After seeing Liz, Katie and I drove to her folks' house to regroup and then left for downtown Holland to see her Father's band, Wildwood Folk, take part in Street performer Thursday. When walking to where they were playing, a small dog got away from their owner and ran up to me barking up a storm. I think the dog didn't like my sandals.

Later on Phil joined us and we went for ice cream. On the way back from ice cream we had to see the DeLorean. Katie was getting a little annoyed at how I was fiddling with my BlackBerry. I was trying to upload pictures to Facebook, that wasn't working. I later found out that it was my phone's geotagging that was causing the problem. The ironic part was that Katie took Phil's phone to post on his Facebook. Which lead to out nick names. Katie is Katie-zorz, Phil is Philbo, while I'm Michael Monster. I have Leane to thank for mine and I think it is fitting.

After the band was done singing, we all went to the New Holland Brewery for dinner. Katie's father was kind enough pay for everyone. While there I bought a poster of their ale called Dragon's Milk. I would have had some, but I had to drive home, I didn't have anything to eat for a while, and it was 10% ABV.

Was so awesome to see and talk with Katie again. Hadn't had a chance to do that for months.
