http://eyeonthehorizon.livejournal.com/2006/08/15/ That's a link to an entry of mine from three years ago, when it was the last time I saw Nick. I just heard from him again in a facebook message where he invited me to come out west next summer for his wedding! I am super psyched. I never saw him as the long-term commitment type but I definitely think he is capable of rising to the situation. I can't wait to meet his lady and see how things are going with him. Clicking the entry should remind you why I think he's so awesome.
*and, if you wanna see some interesting stuff, the beginning of that summer,
May 1st, is the start of a sequence of entries over that whole summer that are actually (I think) pretty good reading. Especially the philosophy entry I included in the second entry that same day.
