On Thursday, I was invited by some students to join them for “wing night” at Eddy’s Deli. Eddy’s offers all-you-can-eat wings, with soup and side and a small dessert for $10. I am impressed that students want to hang out with teachers, so I try to go whenever I am invited (plus, I like the food).

On this night, there was a huge group (for us). Besides me, there were Matt Fleagle and Craig McSparran for the teachers, and we had eight students show up. We ate too much and spent most of the two-plus hours talking about superheroes, and so it was a great time. The only downside was that the service was very slow – the restaurant was shorthanded, and I think they put a group of eleven people near the bottom of the priority list, so they could focus on the tables of four and two people. I ended up leaving before dessert was served because I had told Mer I would come back to school at 6:30 to get her, and I left the restaurant at 7:15. Still, as a group, we laughed a lot, and so it was a good evening.

I felt bad that Mer had to wait until 7:30 before I came to get her, so I took her to Arby’s to get some food. We walked in and were greeted by two of our students – David and Steven (Steven graduated last year). They come to a Pokemon card night at Arby’s every Thursday, and so we got to chat with them for awhile. That was a happy event, and Mer was able to get her food. We came home, and she ate while we watched an episode of Doctor Who.
