GOOD FRIDAY

There was no occassion.

No one coming home. No one's birthday. No one leaving town. No one having a monumental announcement to make. Just a simple gathering. One we hadn't had in a while. Which is weird, considering that we saw each other almost every other week for a certain stretch of time.

The boys got together again last Friday after a long hiatus. We met up in Rockwell's Good Earth Roast for some beer and some chinese cuisine. In attendance were Sonny, Joey, Rhochie, Tini, Ching, R-Jay, Jigs, TC, AA and Aljay, Sara and her "sisters", myself, Dino and Philip with his new girlfriend in tow.

It was more of the same. Joey and I trading barbs about baldness and blubber. (Insert and 4J boy's name here) insulting Tini. R-Jay's sexual orientation being put into question yet again. Good times. Good times.

We raised a glass to Jim and his upcoming bar results. To Sandy and the new chapter in his young career. And to the Pope. And we thought we had no redeeming value.

BTW, 4J summer special on April 16 and 17 or on Labor Day weekend. More on this story as it develops.

Here's to the next time. May it come sooner than later.
