Lunch with an old friend, a retired attorney. It is a friendship which grew from an argument many years ago. We quickly went from adversaries to allies and now can almost - almost - complete one another's sentences. Fortunately, we have enough divergent interests so the conversations are often unpredictable.
I came prepared to talk to him about his work as a docent at the art museum and we both rambled off into a discussion of how to market history, art, and science.
We've agreed that an annual lunch is insufficient. I'm sending him a note this afternoon to set up another one.
After a certain age, friends have a habit of disappearing. See them while you can.
By all means, send the note. But beware to scheduling too frequently. Sometimes part of the charm and value of those meetings with old friends comes from a bit of scarcity.
ReplyDeleteWally,
ReplyDeleteThat is wise advice. I'll try to set it a few months from now.
