The art of rallying
There are many things I admire in a person but the ability to rally is tops of my list. Last night, despite all conditions to the contrary, we both rallied to go by a friend’s house who just defended his dissertation and then we went and danced for our other friend’s 40th birthday party. I was barely packed by 8PM, at the first celebration, we both fell peaked into some weird dimension so much so that we ran home before the next party to take EmergenC and eat a bite, then we headed to the birthday party somewhat repaired.
Milestones – thresholds are for celebrating and both successfully defending your dissertation and turning 40 are reasons enough to put on your dancing shoes and gathering your friends. When I turn 50 next month, I’ll be looking for those same people to dance around my fire.
