7/5/11
I had my 1st official stop on the Facebook world tour. And it was appropriately with my oldest friend. Oldest as in I’ve known him the longest. Not oldest in age, because we aren’t old. I’m probably going to say the same thing when we are 80, but still – we aren’t that old.
My friend Dave Ankers and I went to Nudy’s Cafe in West Chester for lunch. I forgot to get a picture. You will forgive me, I’m new at this.
I first met Dave when we were 7 (He has always been David to me, but he prefers Dave… so Dave it is. Although it is hard to call him that.) and large due to him, we have kept in touch ever since. Oddly, one of my fondest memories (it always makes me smile) was of The Who concert at the Vet. I was living in York and he called to say he had 12 row seats, did I want to go. ABSOLUTELY! And then he called back, the seats were actually in the 25 row, he’d understand if I didn’t want to go. Really? No… I think I’ll survive in row 25. We could still see Rodger Daltrey’s ear clip from where we were.
This was one of the last times Dave is going to be in West Chester. He & Chris are moving to New Orleans by the end of July (2011).
It’s always fun to have lunch with Dave. And I think this was our shortest lunch. Nudy’s was chosen because Dave’s brother swears by the place and Carlino’s has just way too many choices. And it works for me – I can see it from the window in my office. Dave had a Reuben, which looked really good, I’m going to have to try it. I had pancakes and a side of bacon. We had a wonderful talk – as always. I am going to miss Dave’s periodic jaunts to West Chester. I guess I will just have to have periodic jaunts to New Orleans!
