11/4: sweet afternoon

I finished my paper for tomorrow in record time; it was done by 2 p.m., and now I just need to proofread it in the morning.  After some struggling with last week's paper, I was glad this one came smoothly.  I then met a friend for coffee at 3, and I had a good, good time chatting.  We had the kind of conversation that affirmed the common ground that made us friends in the first place.
