Last night I had the good fortune to have dinner with my friends Randy and Laura Prebula. My plate was Al Carbon tacos, and I couldn't have been happier.
The best part was the drawn out conversation over dirty plates, and again when Randy and I got back after a quick beer at his son's nano brewery, recounting old times.
Randy and I rediscovered each other after a forty year gap in our friendship, but it seemed to pick up exactly where it left off. And Laura was a sweet discovery as part of the package.
I think this is the definition of good fortune: to have and find again those who knew us before we became the us we are today. I, for one, am glad for it.
And, Laura says that meeting you and sharing stories of Butler, spending time with you and Tracy in Sacramento, and having opportunities to be together has been wonderful. She is looking forward to building more good memories.
Why, thank you! And likewise. In good times and rough times, having people with whom we can share our thoughts and feelings provides space both to be who we think we are and to continue to become the people we hope to be. Thank you for sharing that with us.
Fortunate indeed. :-)
