A Week in the Life - Good Times with Old Friends

Well, hello again, your friendly neighborhood Jimmy is live and on the air. This last weekend I had the distinct pleasure of being able to have a nice afternoon lunch with a couple of good friends whom I haven't had the chance to visit in a long time. For the sake of anonymity we'll refer to them as Snoopy and Woodstock. Don't ask me why I chose those names, since they have no relevance and won't be used again, it just something I do.

Anyway, the point is this, it was great to see them and if they're reading thanks for the visit. There is something refreshing to the human soul to be reminded that somewhere outside of our microcosm there lie people who do actually think of us from day to day. It isn't too hard to feel lonely, especially here in Las Cruces, where you're more apt to see a friend move away than move "home". Families, careers, education ... the list of reasons to leave are many, while the reasons to return dwindle slowly through the years (although the food will never be replaceable).
Still, I remain, and look forward to seeing you all again. We really aren't as far apart as it feels.

Otherwise, we're still on baby watch here in the LC. With only seven calendar days remaining, my phone is on and ready to vibrate, even mid-symphony. Rest assured that I'll have posts up ASAP following the birth of our first child. A select few will receive phone calls, and I apologize in advance if I forgot to call you, I'm still frazzled from the whole experience.

Mmmmm, El Sombrero...

More to come,
Jimmy
