Party

Yesterday we had a going-away party for James, a friend from Science Olympiad who is heading to college. To keep it a surprise we had everyone park at the neighbor's house, then they had to stay in the backyard. I was directing traffic and waiting for James in the front yard. When his family arrived I quickly radioed everyone else before stepping out and making conversation with James. After about 1 minute we were mobbed by 40+ people. Later we had interesting political discussions and got out the five gallon buckets. Overall, very enjoyable.
