Instead of me visiting Texas last week, Texas visited me. I hosted Tamara and Arin separately and together for a total of about six days.

We ate, we drank coffee, we drank beer, and we ate some more. We also played Scrabble, StarCraft, and Civilization IV. Ah, it was relaxing indeed, and it was lovely to simply sit around and talk at length about meaningful things with intelligent and young friends.

One of the places we ate was Quaker Steak & Lube, a race car-themed suburban and rural tradition in this part of the country. Arin and I tried their "atomic" wings, the hottest they have. As the name suggests, they were pretty spicy, but they weren't anything we couldn't handle. My only problem was that some of the sauce got on my lips, and they burned like crazy for five or ten minutes. We were drinking St. Patrick's Day Guinness, though, so a couple pints of creamy stout later, everything was just peachy. I still have a couple atomic wings in my refrigerator, and I think I'll dig into them later tonight.

Though seeing my friends was lots of fun and a good time was had by all, my introverted self is back to enjoying being with my cats and working from home all day. Now, then, back to the grind!
