Getting Together With Friends
My wife and I had dinner at a friend’s house Halloween. Another couple we like to hang out with was there as well. We’ve gotten together, the 6 of us, every few months for a couple of years now and we’re getting very comfortable with each other, which makes for deep and interesting conversation.
We spoke in depth about the differences between Eastern and Western Philosophy and disagreed a lot; also, agreed a lot, never heated, always fun. We ate soy cheese pizza and an organic chocolate cake to die for. The folks who hosted this gathering had turned their wood fireplace into a gas one and with a remote heated up the room wonderfully. Very cool. I’m sticking with wood, but, I still thought it was very cool.
I’ve never been a very social animal. Mostly, I like to hermit. I travel so much, interact with folks regularly, I like my down time. I’m also very grateful to have these friends and look forward to our time together.
Kat and I host the next get together. I’m cooking salmon, one of the few things I cook well. They laugh at me about that, but I don’t care. I really like salmon, and so do they.
