Refueling

December 13, 2004

Despite Cedar City unfortunately still being Cedar City, I had a pretty good time there last weekend. It was good for me to get out of the city and not think about anything that is going on here. Not that things are going bad here, but it's always good to get away from things and go somewhere where things are not on your mind.

I spent some time with my fraternity brothers that are in their last semester of college. Chandler, one of my good friends, and I had a good talk and I encouraged him to move to Salt Lake after graduation. I really hope he does. All day Saturday I hung out with Jill, my old boss and my more recent colleague.

The highlight of our 10-hour conversation has to be when we wholeheartedly and outloudly laughed about many people not knowing there is more than one browser. Immediately I both lamented and rejoiced at how geeky we are.

We went to lunch with Tanya and Monty and Jill's husband Kevin. Tanya is, of course, my ex-coworker when I was a student web developer in college. I had never met Monty, but it was good to. He was quiet, but from what I could gather, he probably just speaks when he has something to say. Unlike me, who speaks all the time, probably just to hear my own voice. I miss being around them. We used to have a good time.

I also saw an old roommate, Tony. He and I shared a couple of beers and laughed about the old times and all the stupid stuff we used to do after getting liquored up.

I hung out for a couple hours with an old friend Jessi. She's been having some health problems lately and subsequently been having a hard time. It was good to see her and hopefully things will be looking up.

I feel refueled after the weekend. I was very busy, driving all over Cedar, not counting getting down there and back. But I can definitely tell that I am doing a hell of a lot better emotionally than I was when I went down. Last weekend was like one long therapy session. I felt good to go down there. But then again, it's great to be back home.
