Three Friends For Dinner

There have been career and city moves, wives and other wives and then families. There was lots of news and gossip to catch up on.

three-friends.jpgI have two friends from college. One, Howard Lapides, wants me to mention his name in the blog… his full name. I always refer to him in the blog as “my friend Howard.”

“My friend Howard?” he said. “Not Howard Lapides?” And so, henceforth, he gets full billing as Howard Lapides.

My other friend is more secretive. With his wife’s help I have begged and cajoled until he let me post his picture. This is a major concession on his part. I still can’t mention his name. Fine.

We went for sushi tonight. This is part of a long tradition of the three of us going out together. It’s a forty plus year tradition.

We’ve been through a lot together. There have been career and city moves, wives and other wives and then families. There was lots of news and gossip to catch up on.

We were asked to leave before we were finished! OK– I understand the restaurant had to close.

You know the credit card commercial where they describe something as priceless? That’s what tonight was–priceless.

  1. I agree with John… It’s so hard to get together with friends in today’s fast paced life! You, Howard and the “Mysterious Man” certainly look like you are having a wonderful time and maybe a lesson to us to give those “old friends” a call! Enjoy your time away.. you aren’t missing much weather-wise here!!!
