Friday Lunch

My colleagues D and S took me to Golden Thai for lunch today. Somehow they remembered it was my big day - one of these days. I had a lunch special: Butterfly Shrimps, Spicy Calamari and some pork. On top of them, I also ate a spring roll, noodles and rice. It was a full plate. We even shared half liter of Chilean red wine. What an escape from our comfort prison to share food, wine and gossip!

Our office has an interesting circle of people at different levels who actually grew up together since when they were at Sienna's age. They have their special and personal ways of dealing things within the corporate environment. That was part of our conversation. And on my note to thank these two colleagues, I acknowledged my gratitude and joked, "it's a pity that we didn't grow up together. But we are blessed to grow old together."
