I had lunch with Dave and Don today. I was stressed - leaving for San Francisco is less than 7 days and I haven’t packed anything. We had lunch and I shared with them some of the things I was planning on packing. You know, the basics: oven mitts, a dozen or more candles, 3 boxes of books, 39 shirts…

“ARE YOU CRAZY?”

Only your real friends will scream at you in a crowded Chipotle restaurant.

Through a half hour of intense laughing and ridicule, they convinced me:

1) San Francisco has books.

2) San Francisco sells candles.

3) I don’t need to take everything I own.

Thank you Dave and Don.

Oh, then while I was giddy with endorphins, another warrior who I haven’t spoken with in a YEAR called me for the sole purpose of wishing me a rich blessing, a huge, gushing blessing about the man I have been and am becoming. I was in Target on my cell phone and getting teary-eyed. Thank you, Dennis.
What a day.
