bonefishing with the rogue!

He had called me yesterday to say he was coming to town. Did I have any plans for NYE?
I did not, I told him.
I was trying to limit my driving, as I have been doing far too much of it... especially as I was to not do any for at least for weeks.
I didn't tell him, but I went to Bluffton on Wednesday and I've been downtown for three of the past four days.
That's entirely too much driving.
Tonight, he called to touch base, after a miserable day holed up indoors.
We both needed something more... so he rode to my rescue, scooping me up and escorting me out to dinner.
Yes, indeed! We both needed something special and at Bonefish, Kasey gave it to us!
I had a giftcard, so we decided to splurge and have a cocktail while we waited to be seated. Crazy, right?
I saw on the menu a drink I hadn't sipped for quite a while: Moscow Mule. Joe decided to have the same! Trust me, that beverage was quite appropriate to ride on this blustery chill evening.
Most definitely!
Then we dined most lavishly!
Yes, we did!
And we stepped into the easy relationship of old friends, allowing time to flow around us as we dined and talked and sipped our Russian treats.
By the time we were done with our last bites, we had both relaxed into our cheery selves again...
i thank You, God.

I do so miss having him around more often.
