Dave shows off his favorite team...
Madhu and Schiller play Chez Geek with style (and a large Margarita).
Madhu is Bailey's favorite place to sit.
The best thing about celebrating the holidays with friends is that you can relax! No trying to be nice to the sister in-law you can't stand, no biting your tongue when the idiot cousin opens his mouth, no putting on the happy face, even though you want to scream - just putting your feet up and enjoying the company of good friends.
This is what I had in mind when I asked Kenn and Madhu to spend Thanksgiving with me and my family - Madhu had successfully defended his doctoral thesis mere days before, he was in need of some stress-free time!. Steve Ginter had planned to come in the day after, so I figured we might as well call a Social. (At the last minute, Steve wasn't able to come, and he was much missed.)
Anne Willick and Dave Rothgery joined us the day after Thanksgiving for a weekend of doing...well, not much of anything but relaxing, eating, and demolishing a rather large bottle of Tequila. We did take a trip to the Toledo Zoo's annual Christmas light display and had a leisurely dinner at the Grape Leaf Diner, but for the most part, we just hung out at home. Of course, there are a few pictures...
