my dear friend walter got me to go out last night. something i never do anymore. but it's a chance to see him in general and catch up in person. and there's so little to do here. anyway, even though it was way past my bedtime, it was important to go out and see him. we hung out at a piano bar for a while, which was cute but too loud. and then headed over to a club where we actually danced some, something he and i used to do constantly about 12 years ago here in kansas city (as he was my regular clubbing buddy), but of which i never do anymore. it kinda felt good to get my groove on once again on the dancefloor. been so long. and he and i had fun catching up.

i wish there was a way to have all my close friends near me, where i live, so that we could all hang out more often, and not so randomly and sporadically upon trips or vacations or holidays or family gatherings. but i guess that's part of the way life works, especially when one moves all around and still enjoys friendships of the past and present.
