I am sure some of you have been to this place..but alas I am from the great state of Wyoming.  While we have certain things that make living here a windy Eden, the one thing we lack is diverse eaterys.  And Johnny Tango loves eaterys!! When we entered Buca's I was laden with a little stress over somethigs that we had to get ready for the conference the next day.  Instantly I was put at ease as my nose could pick up the scent of basil and a wide assortment of white wines.  When you walk into the place they escort you to your seat through the kitchen..when I noticed they actually had dinning tables right there!!! Cool is what that is...no..it is better...it is super cool.  That is even cooler than Hassehoff smoking in the seventh grade!!!  Once we arrived at the table all stresses melted away with a steady course of wine, cheeses, pastas, some lemon butter chicken thingy that made me rethink my solitary love for my wife.  Yes...I would have married that chicken.  It would have been a delicous yet forbidden love...  The meal past with serious laughs, a birthday seranade to one of my companions from a nearby table, and an after dinner spiked latte that sent me into Neverland. 

The next night we ate at a nearby steakhouse.  This again was an experience meal.  We had such a large group with us that we had to split into two tables.  I ended up at a booth that seated six..but we made seat eight.  The food and company was again fantastic.  That dinner will for me, be marked with meeting for the first person I will have known to have performed in a circus, Gene attempting to cure me of my fear of blueberries, and realizing half way through that this was going to be something I was certainly going to write about. 

Two nights in a row of laughter, rich foods, old stories, and wishing that time would move just a bit slower.  I understand why Jesus wanted a last supper with his friends and wine.  There is nothing better.....
