After that, I picked up Gil at his hotel, and we met Sev and his girlfriend at a bar in Old Town Alexandria. On the way home, we stopped by James McCully&#8217;s house to say hi &#8211; he is teaching voice lessons out here. It was great to see all of those guys.

We had a good dinner and good conversation with them.<\/p>\n<p>Friday and Saturday we just relaxed and studied. Friday night we watched a couple of episodes of Law &amp; Order that we had recorded. Last night, we watched &#8220;The Blind Side,&#8221; which was a wonderful tear-jerker!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.criplomats.com\/wp-content\/015x1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" title=\"015x\" src=\"http:\/\/www.criplomats.com\/wp-content\/015x1-199x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"199\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>With James<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sev and Gil This was another very busy &#8211; but fun &#8211; week.
