I haven't quite recovered from my long strange journey last evening but I did have a high point in all of this (besides the free food and drinks in the concierge lounge!) I had dinner tonight with my friend Kristen (the title of today's post was her nickname back in the day...but I won't go into that!) We've been friends since high school but have drifted, as high school friends are apt to do, over the years. Periodically, we check in with one another and then time flies away again. We couldn't even remember how long it had been since we'd seen each other - and I said that the last clear memory I had was of she and I sitting on her bedroom floor at her parents house...but I'm sure that is not the last time. Anyway, it was so nice to catch up and spend some time together. I'm hoping we can do more of that!
