This weekend is a weekend for friends. A number of us old college friends got together for lunch/dinner, some discussions and friendly poker games. It was quite fun.
In this day and age, the complexity of technology has caused the never ending thin-slicing of people’s time, attention and job functions. There are fewer and fewer human interactions that are truly neccessary. I found get-together with friends has become a luxury now. So we make a point to travel to places just to meet friends. And we have established an unwrittern rule that whoever travel a long way to a different place, all the friends have to make an effort to get together. Not just for the traveller’s sake, but more of a good excuse for the local friends.
How about a visit to East coast on July 4th weekend? I am gathering people to go for a weekend long trip
