Hit or Miss
Former colleague, good friend and zoo partner Ken has been in NYC since Wednesday. We finally caught up last night, as I'd been busy doing my civic duty and serving my time as a potential juror this past week. Ken looks fabulous (living in Portland, Oregon definitely agrees with him) and as always, our get-togethers are a guaranteed festival of laughs. We plan to catch up later today with Andrew, another former colleague and friend we haven't seen in a long time.
Making plans based on everyone's calendar can be difficult and often results in a game of hit or miss. My friend Marcus was also in town, having ventured down from upstate New York to visit museums here in the city. Missing out on his visit was absolute frustration for me. It looks like I'll have to hop a plane to Nashville one of these days if we are ever going to see each other in person. Longtime friend David was also in town, and I missed out on seeing him too. *sigh*
So many people are surfacing from hibernation these days, and next week brings yet another former colleague to town. Hopefully the stars will be aligned and my schedule will not change too much. When it rains, it pours!

I'll be down for the day on May 4. If I finish what I have to do at a reasonable hour we should have lunch. I'm leaving for Vegas on the fifth, so it would have to be cocktails at the very latest -- my flights from Syracuse in the morning.
Yeah, I know. Poorly planned, but the NYC thing was last minute and unavoidable.

Zoe - you can count on seeing me in person before the end of the year :-)
Al - you? in person? -- how cool is that! Lunch or cocktails it is, and duly noted on my calendar.

Sounds like you're having a good time and that's what really matters.
ENJOY!

Aren't you lucky to have so many friends all over the place - it's too bad they all arrived on the same busy weekend though.

When you're all grown up scheduling tends to be a problem. Glad you're back. :0)
