Friends


Dinner with old friends. Well maybe not that old, except for the good doctor, though. It’s different when the people bring into the conversation their years of experiences, learnings, hurts, triumphs and tragedies. People who live full lives are a joy to talk to, and if you’ve known them for a long time the conversation can veer from profound to juvenile and back to profound in a single quip. Talking with old friends is like slipping into an old, very comfortable pair of socks.
