On the second day away from the
restaurant, I threw myself a party. It was an intimate party, but we
all ate and drank too much. I thought about all the parties over the
years. Christmas 2004 came to mind. So did the idea of friendship.
There have been friends over the years, and I know there have. So
often, though, I’ve had to pass on friends because I was at work. And
my work friends, well, their schedules were so often like mine that
our time together revolved around individual shifts. Yup,
friendships.
