With Michael's husband out of town, Terra and I got to be his dates for the evening. Aren't we absolutely precious? I was dissapointed to miss meeting Robert, but I am sure he was having plenty of fun on his own. We shared blogger-talk, politics and our personal stories over some tasty high gravity beers at The Brick Store Pub. I loved getting to know Michael better and it certainly didn't hurt that he stroked my ego. To return the compliment...Michael is one of the sharpest, smartest, funniest guys I have known. And he's nice to look at...and a gentleman, to boot.
