I met a few friends for dinner and a few drinks last night. I haven’t seen them for quite sometime. I guess I could have tried to see them more often, but we both live in the same city and we’re not too far from one another. I didn’t want to over welcome myself, so … Continue reading Last outing in town (while I still live here)

More philosophical ramblings
