One person who came in most of the way through dinner but hung out to chat is someone I don't know all that well, but have gained some new respect for. He seems to have found something to do that appeals to him and challenges him; he just finished basic training and some follow-up military training program, and while he jokes that winter is the worst possible time to be posted to Alaska, he's clearly looking forward to it. Good for him. He certainly looked far healthier last night, not to mention more animated, than I ever remember seeing him before. Sometimes it's just a matter of finding your niche.
Happy birthday,
pkdan!
