In Eckleburg's Eyes - 8/6/2008

I spent Tuesday night with JTH and JBT (who has recently deleted his MySpace account). We kept JBT company as SCB incrementally prolongs her Virginia vacation. At present, she is scheduled to return on Friday.

Naturally, we met at Applebees, though we did not assume our regular seats near the bar. Our server, and high school classmate of JBT’s, Ashley Hopkins (AFH). Requested we sit in her section. So we did. JTH asked about a girl he has seen her with, describing the girl as short. The 6'3" AFH reminded him he need be more specific as everyone is short to her.

Afterwards, despite it being very late, the three of us decided to head to the Halls branch of MoFoS so that JBT could take care of some business. This included me scripting a lengthy checklist for his employees as he is still struggling with the use of his right arm (basketball injury). I cannot explain it but there is something especially fun about shopping in a store after hours. I do not know if this applies to all stores or just the ones one ordinarily likes to shop at in the first place.

If nothing else, I have made two visits to Halls in a calendar week. I am fairly certain that is a first.
