Sunday I was invited to have dinner with Russ, Thomas’ uncle, and it turned out to be quite a treat. After an interesting stint getting stuck at the Pentagon metro stop and having one of Russ’ daughters (first, find her way into the Pentagon (not Pentagon City) complex, and then) pick us up, we rode back to his house in Arlington.
.
Once there, I was able to meet his family and talk about what they’re doing, how one of them liked the transition to college, and where another was looking at going (which, Russ is 0-2 for selling Luther) , all while avoiding the topic of the recent Packer loss that day.
.
Dinner was fantastic, but the conversation was what made the night. The quick-witted comments about issues today as well as frequently-used historical references made me feel as though I was sitting at the table of the Van Doren’s, straight out of Quiz Show.
