I had coffee with a wonderful gentleman I've known for years but met for the first time today.

We've been chatting and arguing and laughing for about 4 years now, and I've long admired him for his positive outlook. He has the most interesting life experiences... I don't know why he doesn't talk about them more, as any one of his stories is far more interesting than the boring tripe he past... I mean.... posts. He's generous with his support and praise, and kind with his criticisms.... in other words, he's the ideal friend that everyone should have at least one of.

The hour we had flew by, and I'm looking forward to the promised beer and burger sometime in the future.
