my good friend leslie, her husband mikael, and their impending offspring are moving far away to the mitten state (ie Michigan) very soon indeed. it came about in a bit of a whirlwind, and i think i’m still adjusting to the idea that they’re really leaving. there are many things about this that make me sad, and many things about having them here that i will miss. such as:
- passing out blind drunk on their couch. they have had a succession of very comfortable couches and i have ended up crashing on more than one of them.
- their kittehs, particularly Matey, with whom i have a special one-eyed bond. we are even gimpy IN THE SAME EYE!
- head-bobbing-show-going type activity.
- camping! best camping trip i ever went on was with leslie & her parents. going to try to convince them they still want to hang out with me even after their daughter leaves the time zone.
- mutual appreciation of margaritas (see item #1)
- convenient close-in hawthorn location!
- jamming in the studio, pretending to be a rockstar.
- various other feats of tomfoolery i only seem to find when with them
- the excellent addition they make to my social circle
they’re buying a nice big house out there in Michigan, so i’m hoping items 1 & 2 can still be had, if only after a cross continental airplane ride.
this weekend we are going out to the gorge for a farewell campout & hootenanny. should be good times, if poignant.
sniff
