Better Friendships
I want to have better relationships with my friends. I rely too much on serendipity and the limits of combinatorics to spend time with my friends. A 'beer bust' here or a specialty-night there, or just showin' up where people show up.
Friday night, Fred & Donovan came over to have a meal with Sam and me and my folks. Marie (Mom) cooked. It was spectacular in its unspectacularness. By that I mean that people were just people together. No beer to trade off alteration for lubriciousness. Just my lovely Fred and his (and my) lovely Donovan. My loving parents. My LOML.
Emerging from the horrors of last weekend, still numb, still tentative, still not there yet. Torn between wanting to get back to how we were and never wanting to go back to anything of it.
The bright spot of my future is a Tempting Fruit with a Bite taken out of it, fallen into my lap out of the Knowledge Tree.
Circumspection and abstraction are tedious, I know, but I've learned a lot in my years and I've learned not to let any situation precipitate into concreteness too soon. Please bear with me [woof, grrrr].

"A tempting fruit with a bite taken out of it" is not all that circumspect, really, but still a rather clever way of putting it. Good luck!
It is odd how most of our friends are people we see out in bars and clubs, where we may get in about five minutes tops of any kind of conversation, and how refreshing it is to change that up. Despite our annoyance at finding parking everytime we come over (woof, grrr), we loved being there, laughing with you both, and meeting your awesome parents. We definitely need to do this again...BBQ at our house? We'll bring the meat, you bring the pig. Oinksmoochoink.
So it has been a long, long time since I've visted anyone's blog, and I see from yours that you've had a difficult time of things of late. I don't know whether you will or no, but I have posted something that offers you directly through implication something that I hope you will be pleased to read...
