Old friends Open Thread

Can you believe that I haven’t even looked at the headlines today? The day started way too early when one of the little Bookworms got a migraine. We take those migraines very seriously, since failing to do so can lead to a trip to the ER. By the time the little Bookworm was right and tight (everything’s fine now), it was time for me to go have lunch with . . . drum roll, please . . . Don Quixote.

Yes! DQ and his wife were in town. It was the first time I’ve seen them in two years, since they relocated. It was wonderful. We’ve kept in touch by phone and email, of course, but there are some friendships that definitely have their finest moments when you’re sitting around a table eating burgers.

I’m at the computer now and will start cranking things out in a little while. Currently, though, I have to admit to being a bit loath to look at the headlines. It was such a nice lunch, I hate to ruin the mood.
