I decided to take a stooge around the local neighbourhoods, to see what was up with new construction in the area. Boise appears to be in an apartment/condo building epidemic as nearly any large block looks to have a minimum 50+ units either under construction or completed, with several of them running in to hundreds in the same development - can you say rabbit warren??
I managed to get a hold of my former roommate Chris and settled on a feed at Big Jud’s, who's original "crack house" building has been replaced with a larger more user-friendly building. I believe Chris and I spent about 3 years living on separate floors in my West Ashland house, which included a major remodel as well as various additions both house-wise and personally.
A word from the wise - I’m sure if your mateship survives a major house remodel, that included replacing the entire kitchen, is performed by the homeowner, who ropes in the roommate to help, who is the aformentioned - then it’ll last the test of time. 
We were joined for lunch by another couple of former Micron co-workers – Norm Week and Dan Phillips, which resulted in us spending the next couple of hours working out who’s who in the zoo and how many lunatics have taken over the asylum.
The evening was spent down at The Village at Meridian where a couple of great mates of mine - Ian & Jax, and myself parked up at Twigs Bistro & Martini Bar, while keeping an eye on their two boys in the playground and updating each other on our respective journeys over the past decade.
