On Wednesday night we had a bunch of people from work over for dinner. They were visiting work from San Jose, Austin and Israel to help out with some user interface development. Mom thought that it would be nice to invite them over, especially those from California so we could compare house size and price.
Mom grilled up a bunch of steaks and chicken. A little of chicken got eaten but the steaks just disappeared. The plate went once around the table and it was empty.
It was fun. Corwin got to play soccer with unagile and out of shape software engineers. Luckily there were no injuries or fatalities although Corwin almost took out a window on the sun room a couple of times. Charles for some reason was a bubbling cauldron of boyish enthusiasm for most of the evening. I think it wore him out because he got very cranky about not getting to watch a specific DVD. Luckily that was near the end of the evening.
One of the people visiting was Nick, who is someone that’s been in our group for a long time. He has grandson who is named Jacob (yes, yet another one). Corwin’s been over to play there on a couple of earlier trips out to California (so long ago that they’re not recorded on this weblog). Corwin, sadly, no longer has any memory of these trips. Nick remembered Corwin, though (especially that Corwin drew on his cubicle walls with a whiteboard marker). However, not being a big fan of playing soccer Nick decided to skip the outdoor activity and relax with a fine wine and wriggly baby, as you can see from the picture.
