Wednesday 22 October 1997
Wende and I went to Taco Cabana for our Weekly LRY Hangout thingy. I was amazed that we made it on time; Wende had been in College Station about an hour previously. She said, "I didn't exactly get here legally."
Paul R arrived essentially on time and we waited for a few minutes for any stragglers. We talked physics and about the Mars Sojourner and the Mars Sample Return programs.
Wende got more involved with the conversation once kT and Dennis arrived, talking about school and French III classes and all kinds of fun stuff.
At some point, Dennis said something really funny and kT snarfed her tasty beverage. Conversation turned to various snarf stories, and I think snarfing warm orange juice was the worst. (Who would drink warm orange juice in the first place??? (Apparently Dennis))
The goal quickly became "who can make kT snarf again?" and we all started getting silly silly. Dennis made a crown out of his cup, but it wouldn't stay on his puffy hair. (It wouldn't stay on my lack of hair either...) Dennis started throwing bits of tortilla, and I made a tortilla mask out of mine.
Once the silliness sobered up, kT went to use the phone. I put my tortilla mask in her jacket pocket, which seemed appropriate since conversation had turned to pocket watches. Why not pocket tortillas??
As far as I know, she didn't figure it out until after we all left. Heh.
