My friend Josh surprised me with a visit this past weekend. He arranged with my wife to come out from Charlotte for a three day weekend, and showed up on my doorstep much to my delight and surprise. We enjoyed a Royals game, watching an Illini football game at a sports bar, some quality brews, and lots of great conversation.
Guys have a hard time typically developing friendships like this. I know, because I don’t have any others that I would call a friend to this degree. I hope he can eventually move his family back closer to KC. I know Charlotte is an awesome city, but I really wish we could hang out together on a much more frequent basis.
Josh, it meant a ton to me that you would take your time and money to come out to see me. Thanks, bud. And Jen and I both can’t wait to see your bride again and meet your handsome little son.
