Eh. We kind of drifted apart senior year. But then we ended up in the same pilot training class in Wichita Falls after graduation. I actually moved in with him and his wife for a month or two, when I was between living situations. He went into '16s, I went into A-10s. His folks live a couple of hours south of here, but neither of us Facebook or that kind of thing. I think we have kids around the same age too. We should make more of an effort--thanks nut.

Dave's dad is the smartest person I've met, period. Dave might be smarter than me, too. He sure as hell is more cocky, which is hard to imagine if you've met me.

theme of road trip was Dave wants to get his pecktator wet, so let's go visit his fiance

Unclear, vague, yeah, I know what nebulous means. Or something being that which can be expressed over the phone to show that he means a lot to you

Great work in here

Here's my current read. Any interest in making this a book club selection?

I don't know about everyone else, but for me this was the story's fulcrum--Brenda's journey as an anti-hero comes to a head and she must make a choice. It sends shivers of anticipation about how Act III will play out. Thoughts?

Sorry Hawg, but I think that's a real stinker. A black hole if you will.

We are driving to Texas. Audiobooks are on the menu. Louis L'amour, Frank Herbert, Neal Stephenson.

So you'll almost inevitably be travelling through Oklahoma. I'll wave as you pass by.

I'd offer to buy you lunch, but you probably wouldn't like my hoiti toiti upscale tastes.
