Dinner with friends

Just back from Fuzio's, where I had dinner (and at least one too many glasses of wine) with JC and Teeb, my former UComm colleagues and dear friends. All told, we worked together more than 15 years, and when I think about work and what the best thing about it was, I always think JC and Teeb. Good minds, good hearts, good people, witty and smart and committed to doing the best job they could. In truth, this was true of nearly all of the people I worked with. But for whatever reason—the fact that we worked so closely together for so long, that our senses of humor meshed so well, that our astrological signs were compatible, or something equally intangible—JC and Teeb and I became friends as well as co-workers. And even though we don't work together any more, that friendship has lasted and still feels solid, reliable, steady. Dinner was tons of laughs and good conversation and connection. I needed that. It felt good. And we will do it again. Soon.
