Random Act of Gratitude #66: Reconnecting

Today I had the opportunity to reconnect with a couple of friends, one that I see quite frequently but haven't had a good sit-down with in a while and one that I haven't seen in years.

Alison and I were off to Williamsville for the release party for our friend Jeff Schober's new book, Bike Path Rapist. (It's not a "feel good" book, I know.) We had a great meal at the restaurant where it was all to happen (another great salad with goat's cheese, coincidentally) and finally had the chance to chat and catch up.

Afterwards, it was into the fray for the book signing. Though we clearly couldn't monopolize Jeff's time, we did into a friend we hadn't seen in years while there and, while waiting in the tightly packed line up, took the opportunity to get the update on the goings on in his life.

All in all, it was a smashing evening and the chance to leave responsibilities behind and just hang out with great people was a real treat.
