I'm a Big Kid Now!
So I ended up planning a whole "grown-up"-type day for my friends that everyone really liked yesterday.
First, we went back to went to the Taylor Brooke Winery in Woodstock, CT with wife, parents, pacingincircles, El Medico & his fiancee, and the Clinical Coordinator I used to work with (and that plays soccer with us). pacingincircles, El Medico & his fiancee, have much more refined palates for wine then I do, and they seemed to be pleasantly surprised by the wines.
Then, Suckily, pacingincircles got called away by his job (yeah, in the middle of a Saturday afternoon), so the remaining friends & I went to Worcester to eat at The Flying Rhino; it was a favorite of mine & my wife's when we lived in the area. It was probably the first "fusion" style place I ever ate at. Everyone loved it and, in a weird coincidence, yesterday was 11 years (almost to the day) after I first met El Medico and took him and some friends to Mac's Diner right down the street; he says the years have significantly improved my ability to make plans. =)
After, we went to Wholly Cannoli to pick up some dessert (my wife has been craving to go since we see it advertised on Phantom Gourmet every week). El Medico then took us back to the area & dropped off my former supervisor before bringing us to see Man of the Year.
Great day.
