Yeah, that pretty much sums up the last few days. I’ve gotten a surprising number of jealous messages from our friends who wish that they were granted an opportunity to spend some serious hang-time with the ever-busy and often-scintillating Karen Jacobs!

I kid.

She’s pretty much always awesome.

(we’ve been friends for a while)

But it has brought to my attention the very limited time we seem to have with our friends to do nothing with one another. There always seems to be some event, or chore, or errand, or… thing to do that keeps is from spending time merely reconnecting. And unfortunately, there really is no answer for this. We have these full lives, and they just aren’t getting any less packed.

It’s almost like you need some excuse, some quest, to really get you out of your life to just hang out. I love a road trip. There’s nothing like a long drive to get all deeply related. Even a drive across town to check out some new point of interest will suffice.

We just gotta make more time. We gotta schedule it. And reschedule it when the plans fall through, and follow through… And we kind of have to be a little bit lucky.

I feel seriously refreshed after this trip (and KJ is driving on the way back). And I am ready to start looking for the next adventure. I have some openings, make some suggestions.
