Whenever I catch up with an old friend, there are parts of our conversation that I remember for a long time. It could be about anything, but this occasion, it’s about cars.
NC and I are friends from a little while back. She had just returned from an overseas trip, with many stories about life, boys and their toys.
We continue to chat. One story about trashing quad bikes, another about an insurance job on a car, and finally about twenty-somethings with their expensive cars. By this time, both of us are sick of these yuppie types splashing about with too much money.
I bring the conversation down to earth with this line: “And yet, here we are driving around in our Subarus, keeping out of trouble”. It’s a great line isn’t it?
I guess what I’m trying to say here is that it never hurts to have a little humility. And that good, old-fashioned, face-to-face conversations have long-lasting effects.
And that I have always admired NC for who she is. Maybe if you’re lucky, I might tell you more about why I admire her, and why I’ll never be hers.
