Dinner with Kevin, Molly and Philo

June 29, 2011

The Seal family has been visiting Chicago, and though we missed them a week or so back… Liz and I were able to catch a dinner with Kevin, Molly and their son Philo.

Kevin had a hankering for pizza, so we met up at a Lou Malnati’s near Justin‘s place. There was a bit of a wait, but we hung out in the main entrance area for about 20 minutes or so, catching up.

Justin was holding Philo for most of the time (and Philo was making a lot of friends with the other customers).

I have to say – Philo was incredibly happy, and incredibly well behaved. The entire time we were there (which was a long while), I maybe heard him cry like once. And it was quick, and he immediately shifted back into playful mode.

We met around 7:45PM, and I’d say we got seated a little after 8PM. The six of us closed the place down, and were the last ones to leave. Mostly because we got into some fun and silly conversations. I learned what the word bolus means, and how the muscles required to shape food are also the same muscles that help shape speech. We also talked a bit about Papa Sangre, cussing (and trying not to cuss in front of kids)… and we kicked around various get-rich quick schemes towards the end of the night.

It doesn’t really matter what you call it… Tyvek Wallet!

This will make no sense to anyone besides us, but I wanted to permanently record the above snippet for posterity. I had a blast, and had several good, deep belly laughs – always a sign of a fun time.

Delighted to have met Philo officially, and he’s as cute as can be. Lovely time hanging out with Justin and the Seal fam.
