Melodie and I have hosted many, many, many friends over the years. Sometimes they were college buddies and sometimes complete strangers. We love meeting new people and enjoy breaking bread with with people of all ages who may or may not share our life philosophy. I'm a music nut with a PhD in engineering and an ear to the ground for that hole in the wall food and drink place that you wished you'd only known about before you left. What was it called again? I seem to stumble into great relationships and unique opportunities somewhat regularly and enjoy many close friendships.
