And I caught up with my friend, Michael, who's been in quite the funk lately. The last time I saw him was back in August, and between now and then he's had to deal with the death of his mother as well as the passing of two very dear friends. He also had to travel to Thailand a few weeks ago, and he still seems to be dealing with the jet lag (too). In any case, it was great to see him, and it was encouraging to sense that his very gloom and doomy emails about his current emotional state were leaning a bit toward the dramatic state. However, it was also encouraging to hear that he saw his doctor yesterday just to get checked for any imbalances in his system, physical, physiological, psychological or otherwise.
