slide.

charlene's friend katy came to visit from west virginia. after a week of endless eating, we did a great farewell dinner at il fornaio and gorged ourselves on their freshly baked bread, which we then slathered with butter/dipped in oil and balsamic. the rest of the food was pretty awesome. got the gnocchi and some tenderloin. it was rich, but tasty. the waiter was a little much. and by that, I mean he was over the top and made everyone uncomfortable with his jokes. he couldn't take an order/interact without making some sort of off-the-wall comment. he did send us home with a loaf of bread, so that made up for the awkwardness.

ferris then invited the crew to go to youtube and check out the newly installed slide from the second floor to the first. we raced (ferris, katy, and I), and I ended up last (only due to a slow start). used the burlap sacks to make the sliding smoother. 'twas slightly painful. I look very awkward and don't know why I'm "lying" down.

consolation prize: we literally raided the kitchens for snacks. probably not welcome back for a while...
