the title of the entry is a czech proverb... i love it.
last night a few friends from undergrad came into the city, k was in from england for the holidays so a few of us decided that we were overdue for a get together. sean was sweet and let me host everyone over at his apartment; it's downtown which made it easier for everyone to get to.
we had a few too many glasses of wine, junk food and dessert then went out for a drink. the next thing i realized was that it was three in the morning and we stumbled back to the apartment.
it was nice to see everyone, i forgot how much i love just having a few friends over instead of the giant parties that gillian and i have been hosting lately. its nice to be able to spend more time with each guest rather than the five minutes i usually end up spending with each person.
it was nice to wake up this morning and go out to a greasy spoon for breakfast with everyone before we each went back to our routines with our vows of friendship renewed.
nights like last night remind me how blessed i am to have such a large group of friends. even if we don't get together all the time or talk as often as we probably should its nice to know that we can pick up where we left off.
I no doubt deserved my enemies, but I don't believe I deserved my friends.
Walt Whitman (1819 - 1892)
