I ate with a stranger at a meat and three when I was a pre-teen and with my aunt and grandmother. He was an older gentleman who was alone and was very glad for the company.
I was on the news with Katy as an "ultimate frisbee expert." It was humiliating and if you want to see the video, I will oblige you, I suppose.
