We talked, laughed, relaxed, and ate some brisket ... to go along with his glass of champagne and my whiskey sour on the rocks, and then we strolled the neighborhood, reflecting on things today and things gone by. It was a great great quiet celebration of many things, not the least of which was the 1st day of the "Sonics" in Oklahoma City!
Please share any of your own experiences ... I'm sure all would enjoy how you marked the day.
By the way, I think that metro's idea of a "welcome" party is a great idea. Let's do it!
