Meet the Fockers, I Mean the Hastings
Last night, I had dinner with Bruce's family. I thought it was going to be an intimate gathering with his father, step mom and sister. It ended up being a gathering of about 12 people. Man, was I nervous. We went to Phnom Penh, a Cambodian restaurant in Oakland
Other than a few awkward moments, the dinner went really well. I sat next to his dad, so I got an opportunity to get to know him. I liked him a lot. I was totally impressed that his wife saw the Bayanihan Dance Company in the Philippines 20 years ago and that his father actually tried Tinikling in Hawaii. I was even more impressed that they remembered what the dance company and dance were called without asking me.
Even with my short-lived feelings of uneasiness, I think it ended up being a pretty successful "Meet the Parents".
I've now met all of Bruce's aunts, uncles, cousins, grandfather, sister, father and step-mom. I just need to meet his mom who lives in Italy and his brother who lives in Virginia.
