Good friends, good times

From last night (no internet)...

It is amazing how a visit from a good friend back home can make you feel like you are back home.

I have been friends with John since 2000 when we both worked at a research group called the Tulane/Xavier Center for Bioenvironmental Research. I was fresh out of graduate school. He was the marketing guy. And after he left a little later that year, we remained friends: LSU football, Saints games, Mardi Gras, Jazz Fest, you name it. He joined me in Mali 10 years ago for a few weeks as well. Truly, a good friend.

Even after just a few hours together, it is like old times. His girlfriend Jessica is here as well, and seems to also be loving Africa during her maiden voyage here. I am looking forward to the next 6 days, showing them my new home!

Thought for the day: Friends are key to keeping it real. Reach out to your friends, and tell them hello, arrange to meet, and catch-up.

Until next time...

Love life, Find meaning, Be happy,
