Today was Australian Monday, but American Sunday, so I took a much needed day of rest.
Sort of. It still started at 6:30, and we had to move house, and there are always tasks to do. But I did get the chance to spend 2.5 hours catching up with my oldest pal at the Mitre Tavern, and talk about how our lives are unfolding over a pint or two.
We were both good friends at middle school, and have lived similar yet vastly different lives. I like him because he is not only curious about the world, but is brave enough to seek answers to those questions, even when doing so is unpopular.
There aren’t many people I know who has dealt with such highs and lows throughout their life; he is very much the man in the arena.
It may be years until we catch up again face to face, so it was a cherished moment. And thanks for subscribing Nick!
