Friday Nights Alright

There's something to be said for friends who are content with so little.

Chicago and New York's party scene is something else. Very hip and sleek. Very cool.

But so is sitting out in a lush, green backyard that smells like honeysuckle and violets and freshly mowed grass.

And those friends who will join you there, drink a glass of wine with you and nibble on some cheese. They are the ones worth keeping.
