I had a luncheon appointment yesterday with an old friend, a retired attorney who is known for his wit and insight. We'd had lunch three weeks ago after a long lapse and vowed to do a better job of keeping in touch.
Yesterday morning, I learned that he'd been zapped with an e coli infection, was rushed to the hospital where he'd barely survived but was now making a remarkable recovery. His wife called me with the news. She said he asked her to call me and that he didn't want me to think he was a "no show" for lunch.
I think I'll forgive him this time. It seems like a reasonable excuse.
