Attended a backyard BBQ deep in Queens Saturday afternoon.
Saw friends I haven't seen in a while.
Saw some friends I haven't seen in YEARS.
It rained hard.

Most of my friends were there with their kids.
Some had more kids than when I saw them last.
There was a blow-up kiddie pool that was set up in the backyard.
The kids splashed around in it, through the downpour.

One of the guests asked me,
"Weren't you supposed to get married the last time I saw you?"
I explained that I was,
and I didn't,
and that that was probably for the best.
I said that I was okay.
That I had turned a corner.





She asked, "What do you mean by 'turned a corner'...?"
I smiled and shook my head and said,
"Nothing."
