Friends In The Neighborhood

Today was kind of a rough day. One of those days when I felt like a complete different breed of human being from anyone else that I know here.

But then after some time alone in the afternoon to stew about that, I got to see some old friends for the first time since I've been here. (Actually, tomorrow we will see a friend and then a relative.) J.R. and A.B. are in town as you can see from the latter's blog. We met in Teaneck for dinner.

Weird to see them in this context, but very welcome.

(Note: I realize there's no need to use their initials as you can see their names from their sites, but I'd like to be consistent on this semi-anonymity.)
