A friend.

My good friend Stu has now come and gone through Nashville on his cross-country bike trip. He parked his now-broken-in Bianchi and trailer at my house, and I played host for two days.

We ate southern home-cooking at Kleervu, went to Nashville's true-to-size reproduction of the Parthenon, got Mexican popsicles at Las Paletas (spicy chocolate, vanilla guava, rose petal), looked at real Faberge eggs at the Cheekwood Gardens, watched Breaking Away, played Go, and listened to hours of music in the car. I sent him off yesterday and sadly watched him ride into the distance on the Natchez Trace Pkwy.

Encouraging it is to know that having left the college life, there is still this closeness and ample conversation that aren't threatened by physical distances.
