a lucky coincidence
it's a lucky coincidence that when there's a work party or something, we end up being with all the same people we would have been with if we had planned the party and sent out the invitations ourselves, with only a few exceptions (I mean, additional people we would invite, not people we would un-invite:). It's hard not to be able to distinguish between work trips and friends trips for Scott when one would be ok with me and the other wouldn't, but overall it's a good way to have things. I'm lucky that the wives have always been so friendly to me, and it's nice to not have to stress out about going to work activities and worry that i won't have anyone to talk to or that i'll wear the wrong thing or make a bad impression.
