My curtailed social life

I can't remember a thing that happened the day before yesterday, before it stopped being grinding summer and the weather turned perfect. But it's been perfect for two days now- breezy, cloud-andsun, warm, dry, 17 at night- and may be perfect tomorrow as well. (Thursday is to be hot and rain and thunder.) Then the temperatures slide back down for a lovely cool start to Ramadan, and very nice too.

Had lunch y'day with what is, in fact, my oldest friend- met in Catullus class in the fall of '67; and another friend met in the early 70's, both of whom were involved in the medieval drama group I backstaged for then. Both are also retired on the kind of pensions you get from the school board and the library system. A nice life, though E's mobility issues cut into the time she can spend at the pool or the masseur's. Had I infinite riches, would I be content to go to the gym and yoga and my trainer's and masseur's? Erm, possibly. But infinite riches would involve renovations to my house and I'd need all the feel-good techniques available.

Wow! That indeed is a friendship that goes way back huh?

Ohhh and infinite riches ... I wish. I have secondary and tertiary education for the children to think about and things before I can count anything near riches, heheh

^_^ ... ahahaha and everyone one needs feel good techniques.

And uhhhh don't remind me of Ramadan ... I'm hoping that temps will not render me inoperable is all.

*sigh*

Speaking of lunches ... me and girl will be meeting up with one of my earliest ffdotnet/lj friends tomorrow. I haven't seen them in a while so it will be good to catch up.

Old friends indeed, with- as always in my case, for some reason- an interval of thirty years between meetings. Joan of course has kept up with all her friends, including the one *I* knew in kindergarten. Net friends I can keep up with, I just never see them.

Good luck with Ramadan. Shall send cool thoughts your way.
