surprise!

i'm not a big fan of surprises, but last night's was good.

i'd invited some friends to a potluck dinner. i'd just buzzed in V., one of my friends, and was waiting for him to arrive and to my surprise, he was not alone. he had my best friend, who as far as i knew was still in Africa, in tow! V. said he hoped i didn't mind he'd brought an extra guest. quite the opposite! it was really cool. well done guys for keeping it secret...
