I stopped at Walmart this evening, and I met one of my best friends there. She was going out, and I was coming in. I've known Jody for close to 20 years. She's an English teacher, like me. She's been trying to get a full-time job at the university, like me. She thinks that most people in higher education are full of shit, like me. We're a match made in academia.
We talked for close to an hour as the normal crowd of Walmart shoppers shuffled around us, passing along their communicable diseases. We exchanged current phone numbers and addresses. We're going to get together in a week or so for a longer visit.
Saint Marty celebrates friendship tonight.
