Highways are built to fall, keeping us tied to the great unknown.

But before all that, before the apple and the dancing and the sound of concrete obliterating my car's steering column, there was "Delta ( Read more... )

You know, I think you're right. We don't have any pictures together. I'm terrible about taking pictures with people. I feel like it's intrusive or something, I don't know.

I don't remember feeling like I was putting effort into making you feel better that day, so maybe that does come naturally. I remember being worried about you, being SO relieved that you were relatively unharmed, and just being very happy to be able to spend time with you. Anything I did or said was largely impacted by those three feelings.

I look forward to hanging out with you again, only maybe with fewer near death experiences next time...

I getcha, I feel the same way about it. I always feel like a huge dork asking if I can take a picture with someone and worry that I'm bothering them.

And yeah, we should do it again, but in such a way that insurance companies are completely uninvolved in the mood of the day.

Looks like you still found plenty to do when you were in town, even after losing your car.

I remember we were planning on doing something in Alex's memory, but I didn't push it after hearing about the accident. I just figured you were either too busy dealing with the insurance company, or really too bummed out (and I don't really like to nag people). Now, I see that maybe I should have tried harder. You probably would have welcomed the distraction.

Yeah, I'm surprised how much I managed to get around, but I felt like an asshole every time someone had to come get me or drop me off. And that's why I thought I'd better not make any plans with you, I didn't want to put you in that position. Like, hey, I know we don't know each other that well, but can you come get my sorry as from the hotel which may or may not be anywhere near where you live? But I hope next time, things work out a little better and we can manage to do something.
