Who knew that Joe followed the blog so closely?!?
Makes me blush a little, actually - he was all full of questions, wanting to know who this person was, and how that turned out, and what was new with something else...! And here I was, not knowing anything about what was going on with him! But I guess that's why we still do things the old fashioned way, and get together for dinner!
Great to see the two of them, and get the update on the wedding plans. Also fascinating to learn of Jess's Yellowstone connection! She's practically a tour guide herself! (anyone think it ironic that our tour guide was Jesse... and she's... oh, forget it.)
Turns out Jess has been several times to Yellowstone, wrote a report (in college?) on the fires of 1988 (this coming out when Mike said that our tour guide spoke for no less than 2 straight hours about a fire, and Jess replied immediately with, "The fire of 1988? That was a big deal!"), and even has a fascinating story of her brother getting lost for two nights in the woods after setting out for a day hike!
The things you don't know about people! Incredible!
This blog was a big topic of conversation last night - particularly when it came to Joe's suggestions on post entries. He's evidently very concerned that Mike and I have about a three-week lull in our travels. Thus far, the blog has been all about travel, and Joe didn't want to see the posts to stop.
(Yes, yes, people, I'm clearly aware that in all likelihood, Joe was blowing smoke up my, ahem, but he made some good points!)
That got us talking about the weekly Sunday night dinners Joe, Sarah, Gregg, Mike and me had for the first several years after college. As Joe put it, there was always some crazy story of something small happening, that Mike and I could turn into a 30 minute play-by-play. He encouraged postings of the sort.
I'll try to take Joe's advice, although I do remember most of those stories being about work, and I'm just not comfortable with work venting on the World Wide Web.
So I'm keeping this blog clean, family-friendly and work-free. Which means, if you want the really juicy stories, you'll have to get them the old-fashioned way, and meet up for drinks and dinner!

Would love to meet for drinks and dinner. Miss you both a bunch.
And he's not the only Joe following the blog! With all the build-up and follow-up how could we not be daily readers? We also were wondering what the action would be like in the breaks in your travel. Now we know--dinner party reports. So we can enjoy fine wining and dining and fellowship, albeit second hand. Bravo!!
but what about people (ME!) who live far away???? can there be a juicy, anonymous blog???
Vi, this is ME we're talking about! I don't DO anything juicy!! Ha!
Alright. Let's keep it clean.
I'm loving the blog, too-- but it's no substitute for dinner and drinks. We need to get together soon!
