I stopped off in Boise, ID on my way West to see my old grad school buddy Kevin. We hadn’t seen each other since we ran the New York City Marathon together twenty years ago. Kevin is now a gourmet cook and wine aficionado. Prior to my arrival, he sent me a list of food choices. I replied, “They all look good, you choose.” He didn’t, and made them all. When I arrived there was a spread of some of the best eats I had had on the entire trip. Kevin did it up and did not spare the wine or the tequila. I’m glad I spent an extra day or two there healing my hangover. It was great seeing my old college bud, telling war stories, and laughing our asses off.
