Over the MLK holiday weekend, Ed had a reunion of sorts with a few guys from the Palm City, FL, youth group he used to take care of. After a 2.5hr wait, they finally got a table at Cheesecake Factory (yep, Saturday night), where we enjoyed the noisy atmosphere, funky decor, and waaay overpriced food. I had a small hawaiian personal pizza; it was okay, but not better than Papa John's, and certainly not worth $9. But hey, it's the company that matters more, right? And it was good to chat with Ed and the guys a bit; I hadn't seen Jake in a couple years!
