My parents came to town for a few days to visit me here in Michigan. It's been absolutely beautiful here in Michigan this October. When I came to visit Ann Arbor two years ago this weekend, it was already snowing! Fuck that! But this year the warm weather is holding out. Today I even went canoeing -- more on that later!

This past Wednesday my parents came in to town and we had dinner with my friends Nat, Maxime, and Andre. It was fabulous! The staff at Zingerman's Roadhouse treated us like royalty! They were so generous with a complimentary fried cheese curds appetizer (*amazing*) and some fresh roasted veggies from the chef's garden to accompany dinner. It was a really delightful evening. I got pretty hammered by the time we took the above photo (hence my shirt a bit more opened than I might have liked!)
