Saturday

It's pretty early in the AM. I've been up watching the UFC Fights that are in China this weekend. The prelims started at 2 AM and the main card at 5 here in the Midwest. I had a short sleep after my drive home and will probably call it an early and easy day today. 
Lunch with a friend and then an easy and reflective afternoon.

Driving home gave me plenty of time to think about the events of the past week. It's interesting to hear the memories and stories at funeral gatherings. It does kind of make one wonder what people will remember about me when that time comes. 
I also got to spend a few hours with some old friends. Even though we have very different lives and different situations, we have managed to reconnect and re-establish the friendships we had as kids. In truth, these two guys are among my favorite people in the world and getting to spend even a few moments with them is so energizing and uplifting that the effects will last for days. I need to make it back home more often.

After some good people days with relatives and friends, maybe I'll venture into church tomorrow.
Then again, why press my luck? Maybe not.
