A visit from Chris
Mar. 22nd, 2015 10:18 pmThis weekend I spent some time with an LJ friend. ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
stormdog is planning on moving to Syracuse this summer to go to Grad school at Syracuse University. After attending an orientation at the school on Friday, he drove to my house, a little over a mile away, and we went out for dinner at a Thai restaurant on Erie Boulevard. Afterward we drove around the university area and then came back to my house where we talked and looked at some of his photos online.
Chris got along really well with Lily and spent quite a while playing with her and showing me some techniques for training her and getting her better socialized so that she will be a better pet. He was remarkably patient with her, and she loved having someone who would get down on the floor and wrestle around with her.

Chris stayed in my newly set-up guest room. That room had been my bedroom for the past 2 years, but over the winter my crew and I finally finished off the master bedroom and I was able to move back into it a few days ago, leaving that bedroom to serve as a guest room. I will post pictures of my new bedroom soon.
On Saturday we went to breakfast at Brugger's Bagels, and then we drove around the Westcott neighborhood and my own neighborhood so that Chris could get a better feel for areas where he may get an apartment this summer. We drove through downtown Syracuse and looked at the architecture. Both of us like Art Deco architecture, and Syracuse has some wonderful examples. We wandered through a large antiques shop on the north side and then had lunch at Heid's, in Liverpool, an Art Deco hot dog stand that is a local landmark. Chris left after lunch to drive to his girlfriend's parents' house in Canada and then on back to Wisconsin.
I had a great time getting to know Chris. We have a lot of common interests and similar temperaments. I look forward to having him live here.
