hood dinner

friday night we came home from work and cleaned a little bit and patiently waited for bryce to call. i called him - the van nuys shuttle still hadnt shown up yet. i aclled again, he was finally on it and headed our way. a lot later than expected but still early in the evening, we picked bryce up from the flyaway and headed to pasadena. russ had several people over for a hood dinner to raise money for a charity (ironically run by a woman named charity) that is fighting human traffiking especially sex slaves being sold in other countries and los angeles itself. they made a delicious meal and we had great company. bryce met his new best friend, andrew, a guy who knows more about the teenage mutant ninja tutrles than anyone i have ever met except bryce himself. it was hilarious to watch them go back and forth over trivia and episodes of the tv show.

the best part of the whole night was when i called my mom to let her know that bryce was here safe and sound.
"the eagle has landed. repeat the eagle has landed."
"so you guys have him?"
"yep"
"tell her the hen is in the coop"
"bryce says the hen is in the coop. but i think he meant the rooster."

!m!
