A Sleepy Independence Sunday

It's an overcast day, slightly humid, with a soft breeze moving down from the mountains. Were it not for that breeze I suppose it would feel like one of the so-called "dog days of summer."

But it's been a nice day. Ate lunch with friends. Got caught up on the latest news and views. Laughed a whole lot. Even argued a little. No harm done.

It's days like today that remind a person of the gold that can only be mined from genuine friendships. These are not founded on cloned thinking or lock-step political views. They aren't even tied to whether we like one another at the moment or not. I mean, with a real friend you can afford to be upset for awhile. You both know that the other person doesn't consider his friend a disposable item. You don't throw away a real friend.

So the table was crowded with that kind of people today. Real friends. Just beautiful!
