Bloggers in the night....

As is sometimes our custom on Friday the Bride and I stepped out for a bite tonight. A simple, yet elegant dinner was our goal. We almost succumbed to custom and partook of the oriental delights at Kuo's Chinese, but we had been wanting to try the new Pizzeria Vente cafe almost next door, so there we were drawn.

I had ordered our salad and, as it turned out, a rather large pizza made with all natural ingredients from Italy including Italian water....or so they promise. Julie had secured our seating and as I walked from the ordering station back to the table my eye was met by a somewhat familiar eye....with face attached. It was none other than crosstown blogger of note Eric from the Fireant Gazette. Although I feel that I know Eric well, we had met in person only once previously while attempting to perform a little webpage community service. So I was appreciative that he stood up and made the connection tonight as well as inviting us to join his lovely bride and him at their table.

We had a great time catching up verbally rather than digitally for a change and both Julie and I hope we can connect with them more often. Like tomorrow Eric. We still have half that pizza!
