casual ultimate » ‘i’ll let you know when we’re having fun’

last night the cu staff dropped in on some of our favorite people, the original briefcase baby and her lovely parents. that makes two weeks in a row that weve shown up uninvited on a monday night on someone’s doorstep for a housecall. look out. our next monday night housecall could be you. heres a photo of the clocktower at the end of the block in printer’s row that made us feel like we were having a dickens moment.

over onion rings and pinot nior we discussed childrens books, ms. ulty’s new profession as a nanny, and just add water family planning. maxine is almost too much for us to handle. she’s so cute we couldn’t take out eyes off of her until she called it a night. we all agreed that we are eagerly anticipating dr. welsh’s return to the midwest in a few short weeks and that stuffed cheeseburgers are what life is really about (if the bacon and cheddar are inside, they don’t make the rest of the condiments slip around on the bun). allison turned maternal and gave us advice on how to keep boys in line, and we saw her strategy in action: ‘nate, you’re putting music on, right? nate, are you opening a bottle of wine?’ usually you have to pay someone for insightful observations like this but we get it for cheap. thats where the post title comes from. nate admitted that sometimes he just lets allison drive. are we in the trust tree?

the house, the baby, the parents are all warm and lovely. what a great stop. we’ve had two great monday nights in a row and who knows where we’ll end up next week? you might wanna be home with some hot chocolate on the stove in case its your house.
