Here's to old friends coming home. The old gang got together last night to celebrate Todd's return. Some of the group hadn't seen each other in over 5 years. We met up at our favorite mid-town martini bar, The Velvet Dog. The boys drank pale ales and the girls had cosmopolitans (that's right Molly) and chocolate martinis. Stories, drunkeness and laughter were abundant and flowing free. It felt like home. And I felt whole again.

BEHOLD!!!
RANDOM QUOTE OF THE DAY

"For a few precarious seconds, the chaplain tingled with a weird, occult sensation of having experienced the identical situation before in some prior time or existance. He endeavored to trap and nourish the impression in order to predict, and perhaps even control, what incident would occur next, but the afflatus melted away unproductively, as he had known beforehand it would. Deja vu. The subtle, recurring confusion between illusion and reality that was charateristic of paramnesia...There were terrifying, sudden moments when, objects, concepts and even people that the chaplain had lived with almost all his life inexplicably took on an unfamiliar and irregular aspect that he had never seen before and which made them seem totally strange: jamais vu. And there were other moments when he almost saw absolute truth in brilliant flashes of clarity that almost came to him: presque vu."
