Today, I took the day off and chilled out with Rickey and Joe.
This was splendid. We missed getting a McGriddle, then ran a ton of errands. Once that was over, we chilled out and watched youtube and laughed. After that, Rickey went with Sanquan somewhere and I rode home with Joe.
While riding, we talked about everything and nothing. I thought about the convo I had with Christa the day before about so many things including a question she asked. It was funny, shocking, and sweet. In answer to her following statement, "yeah, he makes me happy. I love celebrating anyone in my life that brings happiness into it."
Going on, when I arrived, he asked if I wanted to meet his wife and kid. His kid, Izaac, was at the door watching. He's like a year old.
I walked in and within minutes, I was playing with Izaac who offered me some of his juice, boxing gloves, and a fun game of tag, and a book. His parents -- Joe and Heather -- watched in amazement; Izaac is shy around strangers and normally doesn't play with them or allow them to pick him up. My response: "I bring out the unusual in people."
We went outside where Izaac played until he was tired. At that point, Joe's dad asked if he could show me something. He showed me his bow and arrow and let me shoot a few. It was my first time and it's strangely addictive. It took me three shots to hit the box, but I finally did. He told me all about the hunting he does and the corn he laid out and I just allowed myself to fall into the story of his life. He's a simple, adventurous man that likes to hunt for sport, but takes the deer he kills and processes them and it's all eaten or given to places to cook. I like this idea. It was fun to get to know him a bit better and he seemed to enjoy talking to me. I talked to Joe and Heather a bit more and went home.
Awesome people.
Polli, then Brett came over later. The guys came home a bit after that, pregamed, and now they're all off to the club. I think Polli is drafting me for a run tomorrow morning. I am going to hate myself, but maybe I won't. Either way, this day is a win... except for James being a douche and quitting mid-game in LOL and guaranteeing my loss in the process. Blah :P
