Our friends Alan and Jeanne are in town over the Thanksgiving weekend, visiting Elly (who lives in Salem). They spent the afternoon here. Alan is one of my oldest friends. We met in ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
roadnotes' living room in 1983, when he lived in Toronto, and he and Jeanne now live in the Bay Area. [cattitude points out that I've known Elly about as long.]
I took a covid test for unrelated reasons yesterday (it was negative) and then I asked cattitude andadrian_turtle how they'd feel about visiting unmasked iff everyone tested negative. They said yes, so I suggested that to Alan, and also noted that I had already tested negative but had tested because I seemed to have a cold. Everyone tested negative, but Elly spent most of the afternoon wearing an N95 because she doesn't want to catch a cold. We also replaced the pre-filter on our living room air filter.
Much conversation, and we finished the apple crisp from yesterday's belated Thanksgiving dinner (Elly took her mask off for this). They left around 6:30, after spending 3.5 hours here. I suggested to Elly that we get together again when we don't have visitors from the other coast, and we hope to do this, either her visiting us, or the three of us taking transit and her picking us up at the commuter rail station. So far this is a hope, not even the glimmering of a plan.
The postponed Thanksgiving dinner, which we had yesteray, was good, especially the duck. I didn't like the rice salad, and Adrian and Cattitude thought it was only OK, but there were plenty of roast roots, so that was all right.
