out-of-town ... not out of mind

I will miss arriving ten minutes after I say I will pick him up. He will always be gracious and seemingly accepting of the brief passage of time. Maybe he depends on it; in that respect, I’m actually predictable.

Go figure … one of the things I’ll miss about SD are the visits from an out-of-town friend that I likely will see less often when in the BA.

I often speak of the SD people, places, and things-to-do that I will miss. All this is true. However, I recently realized that I have overlooked a special friendship that has evolved through time. I will miss the story-telling dinners with my friend Taylor. When he comes to SD to work, it’s often hit-or-miss if dining with him is in the mix. When it is a hit, it is quite a treat. He continues to remind me that I need to write. (That's a good thing.) He speaks proudly of his wife and son. And ... he reminds me there are cool lawyers out there.
