Last night I arranged to meet Josh at the Maypole – haven’t seen him since the spring, and that is a long time given that he is one of my favorite people!
When he arrived I gleefully inquired How are you?
He spread out his arms and replied I never know how to answer that.
Easy, I answered. I always say I’m awesome!
He retorted I’ve been here too long for awesome!
We were served by the bartender who winks at me, then retired to the back room to catch up. He mentioned that he flies to Seattle this week and I excitedly offered lots of tips, then realized he probably won’t enjoy hanging out at either the Bus Stop or the Crescent. I rattled off a series of stories about Seattle that are only available in person, late at night, and we laughed and laughed for hours.
