Catching up with R
On the prodding of Chinie, I was told that R might need something to talk to, so i reached out - sent him messages on IG, FB, and my mobile - "Hey, when are we gonna catch up? Let's do this!" or something close to that effect.
R responded shortly, and we ended up catching in 2 tranches - 30-1hr long conversations over lunch and in the middle of the afternoon. It was good to talk, and it was a pretty open and heart to heart conversation. We'll be catching up again soon - I think there seems to be more to say and share.
