The picnic at Ed's house was really nice, despite the threatening weather we were having when we left home. Up at his place, it wasn't raining at all, which was a nice surprise. We all just sat on their deck, bullshitting and eating. Very relaxed and easy going type get-together, which was nice. I'm really not a big party person, so I didn't know how this was gonna turn out, but it was a super nice time. There were only 10 of us, so it was easy to talk. Only problem for me was that I couldn't eat any of the delicious ranch dip they servrd with the veggies. See, I luv ranch dressing. Oh well. Twas not to be, for me.
