30 Aug 07 Last Minute Friends

One of the signs of healthy (or desperate - there is a fine line) relationships is the spontaneity of last minute plans.

Friday afternoon at 4PM do you know anyone you can call and say, "hey, come over for some dinner and poker" and they would without hesitation cancel a meeting with the leaders of major corporations and foreign leaders to come over.

It takes time to build such relationships.  We enjoyed many such relationships in VA.  It’s taking a while to develop such relationships here in CA.

So when the call came yesterday afternoon at 4:45PM to go fishing at 5:45PM out on the delta I was thrilled.  It didn’t matter how far down I was on the list or who else had said no (if such a thing happened.  It’s nice to be called.
