October 15, 2005 - East Coast West Coast
My friend, Karen, and I have been trading coasts for over a decade. In the beginning, it was on a macro-scale. I would move to California while she stayed in New Jersey. Within days of heading back to New Jersey (2 years later), she moved out to California. I do believe that we actually crossed somewhere in the Midwest. Then, this phenomenon began to pervade day-to-day life as well. When I had a visit planned to the West Coast, Karen would be heading East, out of pure coincidence. If I didn’t know better, I would have thought that she was avoiding me…but perhaps, maybe she was.
Karen holds a very warm place in my heart. I have immense respect for her ability to stand by her convictions and follow her path. I’m also very happy to see her family grow over the years. First, it was Sherpa….followed by Bernie. To say that these two dogs have personality would be the understatement of the century! Then, Karen and Jon met each other. There are a few things that happen in the Universe that causes one to say, “Hey, that’s just right”, and this union falls into that category.
So, Karen and Jon got married a little while ago. This weekend, they came to the New Jersey to celebrate with family and friends. For this event, I waged a personal battle with the natural flow of the Universe and won…Karen and I co-existed on the same Coast for the first time in a very long time.
