Maggie's, Ruebens, Coffee & Donuts... Good Times.

Last night my family spent the evening with a kind hearted, gentle, and compassionate man. We started at my favorite hang out, an Irish pub named Maggie Miley's (everyone knows my name).

Dinner consisted of the finest Rueben known to man, the corned beef truly melts in your mouth, and great conversation that focused mainly on super heroes and catching up with each other. It was good to go to a good place, have good food & spirits, and a good time with my family and good friend.

We then went back to our house where my son had movie night planned out. The first X-Men movie was the movie of choice and was complete with freshly popped popcorn and each persons favorite candy. As we watched "Logan" find his way into the X-Men we continued with good conversation and were later joined by my wife's brother visiting from Michigan. After talk of Michigan he had to say goodnight. He has tickets to the World Series game 2 (tonight) in Detroit and had to leave early the next morning. Our son fell asleep on the floor in front of the fire place and the three of us continued our conversation until 2 in the morning. What a great evening and a good time. Our friend crashed on the couch, rather than the extra bed... done in true bachelor form.

The sun rose and so did we. The men headed to the local Crispy Creme and Star Bucks for donuts and coffee that we brought back home and talked about the day ahead of us all. Our cats will miss our dear friend as much as we will, he showed them much love.

We ate, talked, fellow shipped with each other and prayed with each other. It is good to solidify friendship with true heartfelt prayer.

...not to mention good donuts!

It is so important to have good friends. I have found that being a good friend will cause you to have good friends. Being a jagoff will keep you wondering if you have any good friends.

While this is true, making a mistake which makes you look like a "jagoff" is not as vile as being a constant "jagoff"!
