Yesterday, I met with a good friend whom I hadn't seen in quite a while. While on my drive home from our meeting, I thought back over the day and of our friendship. It's a good friendship. Our friendship is relatively new, because a little over three years ago events in our lives allowed our paths to cross. Those events give us a common ground. He is half my age but his maturity is well beyond his age or maybe mine is will behind mine. Anyway, he is studying philosophy with goals towards a doctorate (Go for for it.) We have had some great discussions about life, what we think and feel, and have drank a ton of coffee during those times. I consider him and our friendship one of those special gifts.

So, here's a quick snapshot of Eric at the restaurant table. Now isn't this a philosophical looking face. :-)
