One guy in particular comes to mind. One quote haunts me still. Mayor Watson delivered an impassioned speech about the challenges facing the city. More than once, I've needed a little help with the rent when the big contracts dried up. Help was right there.
Dinner invites, already ample, seem to be on the upswing.
Or maybe it's just that we have more time now to accept the generosity of food and the enormous pleasure of good company. On the give side of the coin, I've used my new spare time to cook more for whoever cares to stop by. And I've bumped up my volunteer work. The payback on these activities is immediate. It would be real nice to have it again.
