In January, Brent and his home teaching companion (Grant Ware) took the initiative and let one of their families (the Parkers) invite them and their spouses to go to dinner and then play games at Fat Cat. Of course, being a dutiful home teacher, Brent accepted. We met Dan and Megan Parker, and Grant and Robin Ware at John's Pizzeria on Bleeker Street. If you are ever in Greenwich Village, John's is a MUST.
We grabbed dessert at Rocco's pastry shop and then headed to FAT CAT bar where one can play games such as pool, chess, and Scrabble (a personal favorite) while listening to live bands. The Parkers challenged us all to a rousing game of Scrabble, so we began filling our game the board with various words (SOME even more than 4 letters... impressed much?). 
We received spiritual awareness as we rocked to gospel music sung by a strong voiced gospel singer who was echoed by her three back up singers with phrases like "Jesus, He loves me". Later on in the night, we were soothed by the tunes of instrumental jazz songs. The challengers ended the night in T-R-I-U-M-P-H. Needless to say, we will have to challenge the Parkers to another rousing game of Scrabble.
