9/14: small town, old friend

A friend and I have developed a tradition of meeting up occasionally in the little community of Altus, since it's partway between us.  There had been a too-long gap in our meetings, mostly because my pain/ache situation made it too hard for me to drive 1 1/2 hours there and back.  It was great to resume the tradition today.  Altus is a sweet place, and the pub owner let us linger for a long time.  It was wonderful to see my friend and spend the afternoon talking and listening.
