Dropping Like Flies
Another set of our friends is calling it quits on the Bay Area and leaving the state. I was absolutely amazed at the speed with which they acted once they made the decision to go. Within a month and a half they had their house on the market and it sold 9 days later. They are leaving for Boston in 2 weeks.
We went to their house Saturday for a good-bye party and to play some of the vast array of board and card games B has accumulated. It was really great to see them once more.
But, jeez. Steve and I need to start making new friends before everyone we know leaves. First it was the set to Glendale, then the couple to Seattle. Now comes M and B (I just can't order the initials as B and M) to Boston, and they are likely followed by another couple considering the same move later this year.
We didn't get to see M and B very frequently, but we always had a great time when our schedules could collide. Now they are our heroes, and I can only hope that, when the time comes, we can extricate ourselves in a similar fashion.
As a side-note, we were also able to stop by the pirate store close to M and B's house before the party. I have no idea how they exist year round, but Steve had a grin on his face the entire time we were there. He was like a kid in a candy store.

You know, you can always join us in Bostonland - I mean, can't Steve just transfer and all??
Thanks for coming on Saturday - it was great to see you both and we always love seeing you too, even if years go in between getogethers.
You know, way back when, you were the first person LM flirted with! I think he was only 8-9 months old at the time.
Must be the red hair ;-)
BTW: I can't believe Steve didn't buy more at the pirate store! Of course, it may be a mob front because really, how can they stay in business?
