Yesterday evening, I met up with Inge and our dear friends and former 19th ward Bishopric members the Knowltons, for Dim Sum. For the uninitiated, Dim Sum is Chinese appetizers. They usually take the form of meat-stuffed buns and rolls. We stuffed ourselves with shrimp rolls, pork rolls, and pork buns, and had fun catching up. We enjoyed ourselves so much that the owner graciously gave us a free dessert - a sort of warm tapioca soup, with mashed taro root. It was delicious!
After leaving the restaurant, Inge and I needed to kill a little time before our movie, so we went for a short walk around Liberty Park. There ended up being a community party going on, for an evening "Hippie 5K", that was benefiting a local charity. There were folks dressed up in tie-dye, there was 60's music playing over the loudspeakers, and the course was decorated with all sorts of fun stuff. We even snuck in a photo op of ourselves in front of the Hippie Run sign.
After our walk and groove-a-thon, we left to go see the new movie "Mr. Holmes". In this one, Sherlock Holmes is a real person, who by now is aging and dealing with dimentia. He is desperately trying to remember the true story of a former case, that caused him to stop detecting. It was a terrific movie.

While we were in line for tickets, we ended up bumping in to several other old friends from the 19th Ward, who we got to sit with.
Such the fun evening!
