On a Happier Note

After the hospital visit yesterday, I met up with a long-lost friend. We studied in Greece together, often wandering around Athens and chatting away. Yesterday we subconsciously replicated our old times as best we could in Boston: wandering around the North End, munching in Italian pastries, and chat-chat-chatting away. Our afternoon was imbued with that great feeling of picking up just where we left off. Of course, we caught up in the last five years: I was in Santa Fe, she was in Germany, I spent time in California, she traveled through Europe a bit more, we both slept with foreigners, she has shortened her first name to something glamorous and easier to pronounce...You know, the usual. We had a tremendous time and plan to meet again soon.
