Perry organized a get together for Dickie's birthday on Sunday. We went to Japanese restaurant, Matsuda, on Steeles at Middlefield. It's an all-you-can-eat place. Our favorite kind.
This was a special birthday for Dickie, being his 50th. We had a small group of people who've known Dickie for many years. It consisted mostly of current or former CPCers (guys from Toronto Chinese Presbyterian Church). Will, me, Perry (now at RHCCC), Big Jon, Ben and Raymond (Judy and May's brother) were part of that group. So were Sid and Lawrence who couldn't make it because of prior commitments (Sid was at his niece's birthday and Lawrence at his cousin's wedding).
Steve from RHCCC (Richmond Hill Christian Community Church) and Mike who Dickie knew from working at Kodak were there too. As well, Dickie's daughter, Liana, and his mother came out. They all had birthdays around this time.
It was nice seeing the guys again. I don't see them too often. None of them attend CPC downtown any longer. They've all found new churches closer to where they live.
Of course it was great eating as much sushi as we wanted. Food is the best reason for getting a group of friends together. Eating and catching up on what everyone's been up to over the past summer. Who can ask for anything more?
