Au Revoir

It is the end of an era at the Tae Kwon Do school. A friend from the adult class is moving to Texas and last night was her last night of classes in our school.

After class, the good-bye party was held at the local nightclub where the Quipper and Running in Circles provided the entertainment. There was a lot of laughing and remembering good times shared together over the past couple of years. And more dancing...And a little tambourine-playing from the guest of honor. One of the neat ways the band interacts with the audience involves inviting those celebrating a birthday or another event up on the stage to play along with a song. Our guest of honor played along with Blondie's One Way Or Another. The after-party was at a local Denny's (Hey, it was late) where the heartiest fivesome enjoyed each other's company for an early breakfast. As it turns out, I have not been missing much at all by not frequenting Denny's (a 24-hour short-order restaurant [a.k.a. "greasy spoon"] with franchises across the USA) at 4:00 a.m. All the most indescribably strange characters were in their element. We avoided incredulous gawking by saying our last goodbyes in the parking lot and hitting the road home.
