Kelly, Jack and I drove out to Sterling (just north of Dulles airport) tonight to meet up with a friend of mine from grad school. Jochen, a native of Germany, and I studied together at Virginia Tech and shared both an office and an affinity for oversize beers.
We havent seen eachother in 9 years, but due to the wonders of modern technology (1 email every 24 months) we've kept in touch. He was in town for business, we were in town because we live here, and Jack was in town because he loves the Buffalo Wing Factory, our chosen destination.
It was great to catch up with Jochen (now married with 3 children and a sales executive making regular trips from Munich to Latin America) and talk about how things have changed and yet remained the same.
Jack was great--he studied everyone around him before jumping up and down, chewing on Jochen's business card, and falling asleep in the car journey home.
