As I ended up being flying truth be told there, we sat near to those two seniors named Ron and Betty. I’m extremely liberal as well as the woman ended up roping me into a discussion about politics, and she was awesome liberal also, and she ended up being entertaining. Then when the airplanes got, these were like, “We should hook up for drinks in Austin.” We traded telephone numbers, and so they wanted to see margaritas during that old pub on the west side of Austin. They informed me each goes around every Tuesday.

Best when I got in, Kristina and I found upwards for lunch [on a Tuesday]. We had a few products, and I ended up being like, “You know very well what we must do immediately? We Ought To run hang out with Betty and Ron.”
