                               Farewell Dinner

Mark [1] has been at his job for less than a week, and not only is the expert
on the project he's been thrown on, but he's being shipped out to Texas on a
business trip tomarrow.

So tonight JeffK and I took him out to dinner to wish him well on the trip.
We went to the Road House Grill. It's a steak house where they have buckets
of peanuts on the table and you can toss the shells on the floor. The food is
good and the atmosphere tolerable (in that while they do play country music,
it's not loud enough to be truely annoying).

Afterwards I showed Mark the pictures from his birthday party [2] and then we
rented Frequency, [3] a time travel story without the travel.

After the movie, JeffK and I kicked ourselves out to allow Mark time to pack,
even if it was after midnight.
