Goodbye, hello again

Who's Steve? I understand why you might forget.

Shee-it, what happened in the last week? The only thing of note, I guess, is that the old college gang met up at my friend Mike's place for a farewell poker party for our friend, Chris. Chris's girlfriend is now in the Foreign Service. She's been assigned to Mauritania, and Chris is coming along with her. Needless to say, we won't be seeing him quite as often anymore.

Also at the gathering was my old friend from college, Che. For reasons that are too lengthy to explain here, we haven't had many chances to see each other, especially in the last five years. It was great to see him again, and it's nice to see that not much really changes in 5 years (except our collective hairlines).

Coming up this week is a live taping of "This American Life" on Wednesday and I don't know what else yet. That and work, which I have to get back to.
