I had a wonderful lunch with Susie, Pete, and Barbara today. We went to a trendy sandwich shop and enjoyed simple fare and genial conversation. Our talk wasn’t an exploration of deep or consequential issues -- just the affable small-talk that makes having a loving family so special.

This evening, at the Cheshire Inn (formerly Medarts), I joined some long-lost friends from my high-school class for rounds of drinks and an exchange of memories. It was wonderful to see them again, even though I didn’t recognize some because they were guys I hardly knew when we were together at St. Louis U. High in the late 50’s. The clock rolled back, though. For nearly three hours we recaptured those high-school years in all their craziness, ingenuousness, and delight.
