Come Back Soon
DP and AJ arrived last Sunday in the pouring rain. They decided to leave their car in Jersey City, thanks to the gracious generosity of Toby, who arranged for parking at the marina where he lives on his bateau. Chis and I, soaked to the bone, met them over there. We were just happy to see their smiling happy faces. A ferry ride, a walk, a subway ride, and another walk, and we were at our humble abode.
We had a fantastic week with them. It seemed just the right pace of shopping, theatre, dance, shopping, Bikram yoga, walking, groceries, etc. Nothing too hectic, but frenetic enough to help them forget about home in Toronto, and their jobs.
It is debateable whether the lattes at Grumpy on 20th Street are better than Jet Fuel on Parliament Street in Toronto.
I dropped them in Jersey City this morning, and as they drove away, I shed a tear. I truly enjoy their company, and hope that we see them again really soon. Life is so short, and friends are so precious.
