Lions, and tigers, and bears....

Yesterday was the day of free food as I had to work, and Amy brought in bagels. She forgot the cream cheese though. Since I had to work, Maryanne decided to do some overtime. On our way home we stopped so that we could get an oil change for Maryanne's car. It was a pretty lazy afternoon, and then we drove over to Amy and Luke's house to head over to the AmFam company picnic.

There wasn't much in the way of activities; it was held at the Henry Vilas Zoo, which I had never seen before. It was fairly kid-friendly. Some of the zoo staff were walking around with smaller critters such as birds and reptiles. The food was pretty good, much better than last year, being catered by Lum's.

We left the picnic pretty early, and the four of us went to the City Bar. After a couple rounds of drinks we went over to some place called Maduro. I felt under dressed. The waitresses were wearing cocktail dresses; I felt like I should be wearing a pinstripe suit. It wasn't bad though; fairly pricey, but they seem to specialize in high-end spirits and microbrews. Some friends of Amy's and Luke's, Brian and Carrie, met us there. Brian had gone to school with Maryanne, as it turns out. Small world.

We got home about eleven or so, and it was pretty much straight to bed.
