Journal entries in 'Dear Diary' for November, 2006

Today Bryan and Cat and I headed to the somewhat nearby city of Hammond. Cat was meeting a friend from grad school, and Bryan and I passed the time at the public skate park in town. We wowed everyone with our daring feats of bravery. Most of the kids there were in the 12- to 16-year-old range (and a lot better than me). Even this awesome little eight-year-old kid attacked the ramps like he was born on them (which might well be true). There were even four or five girls out there skating, and none too shabbily, either. Little skater kids today must have it great — when I was that age, skater chicks were way harder to find.

This weekend was pretty party-filled. I took Bryan to the airport on Friday for a weekend trip to take his CISSP certification test, and then came back and watched some Scrubs and Family Guy with Cat. On Saturday I met up with Cat again and we watched The Goonies. Just as the movie was finishing, Kelsey text-messaged me and suggested I come over for an impromptu get-together she and her roommates were having in New Orleans. What perfect timing. I knew I was going to have to drive back out to New Orleans the next day to pick up Bryan at the airport, but I've only hung out with Kelsey once since I moved up here, so I figured it was well worth the drive.
