Togetherness Lunch

In between wineries, we stopped in a small Dutch Reformist town while it was drizzling and ducked out to a lovely empty restaurant on the edge of the main street. We were the only people there and so had a beautiful and loud lunch with wine. Our restaurant had just opened a few minutes prior and so we were the only people there in our back room. We shared our hopes and dreams and memories and said some of those inside things that aren't secret but don't always get a chance to be given to others. I learned that Bradley's first CD purchase was Ace of Base, Philip's most memorable musical event was when the Philharmonic had to restart a program because someone's cell phone went off, Robert's first TV watching experience was more formative than any movie, Bria has a hippy mom who introduced her to Radiohead, Ben watched Basic Instinct too young and scarred him for life, and Sean is really sweet and friendly and helped make this lunch moving for everyone. (But he really needs to stop smoking.)
