Well good Dan decided to show up to Nathan's birthday tonight. He met us at this inflatable play place, think of those bouncy houses people rent for parties. But more of them in a variety of setups (basketball court, climbing wall, giant slide) that you can climb all over.

Kids and I were there first and he met us there after work. Got in the playsets with us and jumped around, I was trying to shoot baskets and he kept blocking my shots, acting all playful.

I am going to tell him to pick consistent nights so planning things in advance will be easier. Planning a weekend trip to Des Moines (Iowa capitol) soon to visit old college roomie/sorority sister. Good time that will be...
