Last Friday night we caught up with Julie and her friend Sonya. We met Julie on our trip to Spain last year. They had come to New York to go to plays, but with the strike going on that didn't quite work out like they had hoped. However, it did give us an opportunity to hang out with them.

When we were in Spain, I had talked to her about venison. So she brings me some venison all the way from Minnesota. She even convinced the hotel to allow her to keep it in their freezer!
