The Banzai Chronicles

Music at Victrola tonight. Pleasant surprise, as I decided to come here just to get out of the apartment and not be in front of the idiot box for a bit. It's a duo playing guitar and singing in French and Spanish. I don't understand much, but I can dig it.

Having Mike and Laine here this weekend has made me indescribably happy. These friendships are alive, easy, and safe. Hard to believe it's been six years. My joy comes from a deeper place than the nearly constant laughter we've enjoyed. It's as if they've brought back a part of me I've missed very much, something I didn't even realize was absent. A gift from God, one which puts my heart in a new place.
