Busy Weekend
by Josh Staiger
Had a pretty busy day yesterday. My Mom, Sam, Elizabeth, and her friend Natalie came to stay with me Friday evening on their way down to Florida. Friday night we ate at an Itallian restaurant named Pata Bella and the food was amazing! They make their own pasta there (and even sell it in a store called Extrusions next door). Jeff originally recommended that place to me and I'm definitely going to have to return there a few times before I leave the triangle.
Saturday morning, I saw everyone off with breakfast and a short tour around RTP. Then later that afternoon I went to a BBQ at Danny's place. Fun as usual, though I wish I could have stayed longer.
I had to cut out kind of early from the BBQ because I was going with the Case IBM peeps to see The Matrix Reloaded at the Imax theater in Raleigh. That was also a very good time! The sound in the Imax thater is just incredible. On top of that I also liked the movie much better the second time around. This time I actually kind of understood what the hell was going on.
After the movie, we took off and went to a Denny's. It was fun to just sit around, relax, and chat with the Case gang for a while. It was a good night.
So, I guess it's another lazy Sunday for today. I'm hoping to be able to park myself at a coffee shop and do some reading unless something else comes up.
