It has been an extremely busy last few weeks in the life of this middle-aged curmudgeon, which undoubtedly has made me even more of a delight to my fellow man than I would otherwise be. Yesterday, having finally been presented an opportunity to come for air for the first time since I cannot remember when, I availed myself of the chance to catch up with - and to say goodbye to (at least for the time-being) - an old, dear friend.
On Friday afternoon, Margaret and I spent a bit of time in the company of one of my former law partners, Louis Karp, who is our real estate attorney, signing the requisite paperwork in advance of this Tuesday's closing on the sale of our little bit of Paradise by the Sea. I had not set foot inside the four walls of Weiner Law Group since Irish Goodbye Friday way back when at January's end. As had been the case for every day of the twenty-three-plus years I worked there, I made the firm money from my presence on the premises. The more things change, the more...well you know that old saw. It contains at least a kernel of truth I suppose.
This one does as well...
Do whatever you can to not miss it. As was the case with Ferris Bueller's Day Off, life is a production for which there is no sequel. Squeeze all the enjoyment out of it that you can as you be-bop your way through it. You shall never pass this way again.
