from
quantz's party on friday, to
zamp's barbecue last night, and all the shopping and dinners in between, we found ourselves in constant quartets, each time coming together in progressively unorthodox arrangements of four.
it was a strange thing to discover that the greatest comfort can sometimes be found in the unfamiliar, though the lesson that situations and conversations are more awkward in anticipation than in practice was one i'd long ago learned.
last night the four of us spent hours talking about math and crazy storms and high school, and it's been a while since i've been part of a group conversation that engaging- and never more surprisingly so.
