Fred’s first visit!

Fred flew from California to meet me for the first time after having a friendship through online and phone interaction only! We had a blast even though it was only for two days.

James and Chris visiting from Alabama!

My friend James visited me from Alabama and brought his friend Chris who is hilarious.  We played PlayStation a lot, went to Napolitano’s to sing karaoke (where Chris sang Adam Sandler’s “Ode to My Car,” to everyone’s shock and amazement), and went out to eat a lot.

James “don’t hit me”
