As usual when a semester is ending, I go into hiding, coming up for air only for food, a brief reprieve on the lake, or special occasions. This means I don't see many of my friends or family, or those who constitute both, until after the last final is taken and the last paper is submitted. I finally was able to reconnect with a few of these people this evening at Nadia's weekly dinner. She and I got to catch up, just the two of us, and were joined later by Dustin. Unfortunately, a few others were caught up in summer activities or the recording studio, and I wasn't able to see them before I left for the evening. Regardless, the three of us had a great time over lemon herb primavera pasta and pork chops, for Nadia, Dustin, Andy, and Lawrence, that is. It was a pleasant way to feel right back at home after my hibernation in D.C.
