Luke Carbis It’s more complicated than 42.

An important lesson from a good night out.

Talia and I went out to dinner last night with friends of our, Carmen and Jeff. We were joking about who would be the first to blog the experience.

Now, as my loyal readers (all two of you) would know, I’m not completely into blogging boring experiences like that, rather, I prefer to focus on a message or an underlying principle. This blog isn’t what did I do today, it’s about what did I learn today.

So, I’ll wrap up the night quickly. Dinner at Wok on the Wild side = 7/10 (I’m a hard marker). Really good not great food, perfect portions, bad not terrible service, below average atmosphere. The girl didn’t open our wine, pour it, or put it in the ice bucket, I had to do that myself, but I still got charged corkage which I was pretty upset by.

Keep reading, the moral of the story is close.

The company was good though, and it’s great to get to know Carmen as Jeff as a couple.

A walk around Mooloolaba, then cake and tea at our place, and some great ‘getting-to-know-you’ conversation. Talia and Carmen went into the other room, and Jeff and I got to have a good chat.

I guess the important thing that I took from all of this, other than the good times, conversation, and closer friends, was this:

I’m much more partial to tea, since watching the Avatar series.

Catch me later.
