Hearing loss in your friend's voice

dinner yesterday wasn't TOO bad.. 10-course meals rock!
too bad Jon bailed because of a rehearsal he had..
I was greatly disappointed.. nobody close to talk to..
still, I was able to sneak away for a bit and call Eric..
he said we were losing the hockey game.. ouch, I could even hear it in his voice!
but he did say he could burn the CDs for me.. sweet, eh?
going to brunch with everyone in half an hour..
this time, Jon WILL be there.. definitely a good thing..
I'm still full from last night, but I guess I'll deal ;)
