Day 15: Catching up with friends Part 2

Continuing on the theme of great friends I met while Working at Yale.

Once we left Rod & Bob’s, around noontime. We had a bit over three hour drive from Orlando, FL to our Hotel in Hollywood, FL. I had been messaging Rosalie on FB to plan to get together with her husband Steve. They picked us up at the hotel and we went to one of their favorite hangouts - Flanigans. Rosalie and I worked at Yale in the early days circa Y2K. She and Steve moved to Miami over 14 years ago - once again through the miracle of technology even though we had not seen each other for so many years, Facebook kept us connected. You know a “like” or comment here or there, a birthday wish when those reminders pop up.

Funny story while Donna and I were on the Viking Neptune heading out on our world cruise last year, Steve and Rosalie sat on the deck of their condo and waved to us as they watched our ship go by. She sent a message “We are looking at your ship go by right now.”

I had never met Steve, and Rosalie had never met Donna - even though back in the day we knew about each other’s spouses.

The Joe’s Beer Ale at Flanigan’s is great it was a great paring with the BBQ ribs.

The visit was short, the dinner was filling, and the conversation great.Read more
