My friend from woodland, wildland, childhood days came for another visit last night, driving down from his business hotel up in Yonkers, and making it around 7p. We chatted briefly before taking off for midtown, his first time there.
I decided on Korean food for us and we popped up at 41st St and walked down so he could get a sense of things. I think he was impressed. Luckily it wasn’t very crowded and we made our way down in peace and occasional awe.
We ate at my favorite Korean BBQ place and had a good talk in there, and then walked up from 33rd to 59th, and then west to Columbus Circle through the park, and then took the 1 train up to my hood, where he was parked, and he drove off back up to the hotel.
His life is very different from mine, and those differences are what whole books have tried to describe. It’s been great to catch up again after all this time.
Out for training before a busy night, and then packing for SD.
