A Friend At A Slower Pace

As you go through life you have the opportunity to meet a bunch of people. My favorites? Good ones that are easy to respect.

Fall 1992.

My first job out of college was for a large company in southern California. The business had a few thousand employees occupying several floors of a 13-story building. In a large business there is ample occasion to meet a significant amount of folks through job related events or sometimes just by milling about smartly. I made one such acquaintance that started with playing basketball on Friday afternoons after work with a group of other hoopsters. We became quite good friends.

In his job he had access to numerous meeting rooms and electronic equipment. He occasionally arranged for a few of us to take lunch while watching a movie in the corporate film room with nice reclining seats, large screen, and an above average sound system! Over a three day stretch of 45-minute lunch breaks we could take in a movie. Ferris Bueler’s Day Off and The Terminator were two of several films we viewed in this manner. A top notch dining experience!


We’ve enjoyed sharing good times, growth, and support over the years through our days as bachelors and now married with family. I leaned on him recently to ask questions about his own blogging experience. He’s a good guy. He’s Dan At A Slower Pace and you can read his blog at: http://aslowerpace.net/serendipity/
