lunch with tom, 6.26.24

tom and i have been trying to get lunch together for a few weeks now but it came finally came together today. we went to smokeshop. we always get the agave wings there because they are so damn good. i feel lucky to have met tom two years ago. he’s the man to me. we spoke on so much because it had been so long since our last lunch. his birthday is coming up in july, then his granddaughter is turning one a few days after, and his pup is now two years old. it’s true when they say life doesn’t stop because where did the time go?? tom also gave me some great advice and help to put a situation into perspective that has perplexed my mind for quite some time. only certain people can tell you the things you need to hear for it to resonate. as we ended our meal, we walked through moderna’s grand opening. we saw dylan there, who used to work at affinivax last year. he said he manages alexandria and the new moderna building. good for him. that’s my guy and i miss seeing him around.

it sucked that we had to go back to work, but this was one of the best lunches i’ve had in quite some time.
