NYC -> NoVa -> CHI
A friend from college stopped in on his way from New York to Chicago last night. He was driving some friends of his parents car back home for them. Dan and I hadn't seen each other nor spoken in almost two years.
He arrived at Union Station at around 3:45pm, and from there we picked up the car in Columbia Heights. The car wasn't there, because inexpicably, the guy had driven it to his mother's house.
We got back to Clarendon around 6pm or so. Within 10 minutes we were sitting out back, sipping on beers, shootin' the shit — just like old times.
The feeling of reconnecting so easily was palpable enough that it actually came up in conversation. It's no substitute for actually keeping up better with each other over the last couple years, but it gives me a fantastic sense of continuity. It's good to know Dan will always be there. And it makes me realize that many others will be also.
Aaahhh.
