All three of those crazy kids have dogs now, and it&#8217;s a riot to watch them romp and play together.  The four of us have been getting along really well lately.  Whatever we do, those girls are just good company.<\/p>\n<p>Tonight the four of us had dinner at my new favorite underground spot, the Hayward Ranch (my dinner was great&#8211;that&#8217;s two in a row).  Our server was high as a kite, and that alone was entertainment enough.  After dinner we stopped by Starbucks and let the conversations and good times continue.<\/p>\n<p>We sat inside on comfortable chairs and chatted about happy things.  I watched the rain come down outside; pitter pat, splash.  I thought about how nice it was to be warm and dry inside, while the world was cold and wet outside.  Cars sped by the corner of Mission Blvd and A St.  The asphalt was wet, and the tires of those cars made that unmistakable sound&#8211;the sound that lets you know that, yes, it *is* raining.  Conversations floated around me, wafting in and about my ears, and a smile crept across my lips as I turned to face each one of my merry companions, deep in conversation, laughing, smiling, warm.  Yes, this is what happiness feels like, it&#8217;s been awhile.  I&#8217;m around people that I care about, and they care about me, and I feel lighthearted and carefree tonight.  This is bliss.<\/p>\n<p>And then it was time to go.  I can&#8217;t wait to be with my sister and our friends again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What happens when you take a Skillet, a Son, a Saq, a Neeters and put them together?
