Getting to meet, and cook dinner for, Sooz's parents was awesome. I'd never spent time with a baseball player from the bigs before (John DeMerit played with the Mets and Braves with Hank Aaron and Warren Spahn the year they won the World Series). He had some great stories. And both of them were complete sweethearts (photo on my/Susan DeMerit's page). This night also confirmed what I've always felt about my friends from the middle of the country: salt of the earth.
