HEARD FROM AN OLD FRIEND TONIGHT

He sent me this picture of a time that doesn't feel that long ago and yet, was taken almost 9 years ago on a summer day in Old Town three months after I retired from active duty. You can tell from the long hair. I kind of miss the sun swept patios of San Diego and Encinitas where one could sit and watch the people glide by on their way somewhere. We don't really have them here in Metropark Centralis.
