Josh and Billy visited us this weekend. Josh from Los Angeles and Billy from San Francisco. Dallas and Billy went to high school together and Josh and Billy went to college together. By coincidence, I think, they all lived in Boston at the same time a few years back and became the best of friends…. and Celtics fans, even though none of them are from Boston originally.
On Sunday, the Chicago Bulls played the Boston Celtics at the United Center. This was the reason for the visit. They came in to see the game. Killian joined them as the only Bulls fan in the group. I’m not much of a basketball fan, but I will admit that I turned the game on and was sucked in. It was so close and went into double overtime. Killian was elated that the Bulls won. I don’t think the Celtics fans were too depressed. They’re still holding out hope for the series and were glad they got to see a good game.
The night before the game we were trying to figure out where to go for dinner. Billy is a beer connoisseur and was interested in local beers, so we decided to go to Goose Island Brew Pub. I thought the food was just alright there. .. I do enjoy the beer, though. Also, the one on Clybourn is kind of a weird, strip mall, suburban feel. We still had a great time.
Here’s a photo of Josh and Billy having a romantic drink together.
So, we had a great weekend. It had been a long while since I saw Josh because I missed his visit with Tweeny last year. I saw Billy and Ging when we were all in Maine last August, but that was still quite some time ago. Next time we see them they’ll have an addition to their family. Exciting!
