Feeling extraordinarily relaxed, after a lovely evening out with Bug, the kind of time we used to spend years ago, when we were young and maybe a bit freer but not altogether different than we are now.
We treated ourselves to an evening at Palisades Center. We ate. We went to the Mac store. We went to the arcade and played racing games and shooting games and ski-ball and air hockey. We lived.
Amidst the flashing lights and commerce and junk food, we talked about getting older, about half a life spent in each other's company. You thought 2009 felt like a long time ago? Try 1993 ...
Wrapping up at B&N, walking back to the car through the deserted mall, we knew we had just done something important, reconnected in a way that was long overdue. Frog and Toad are Friends, indeed!
Much love must be sent to E, who took me for a walk around Packanack Lake even though she needed to leave for Spring Farm, and who right now is sleeping far from home. Get ready for your big weekend, Pal-o.
