I had dinner tonight with my friends Taz, The Hey and Bismo. We went to John Harvard's, a local brewpub, drank a lot of beer, talked and laughed a lot

I have known these guys for about 20 years. We used to spend a lot of time together back in the days when the USS Christa McAuliffe was more active, and Taz and I were roommates for several years. Now we all have families and we just don't have as much time to do stuff.

It was great to go out with them tonight. We have so much history together, it's incredibly comfortable to hang out, drink beer and talk about life, the universe and everything.

Here's to more "Boys Nights Out" in the future!
