I think I should seriously check into a mental institution now.
Well, on Thursday, I decided I needed to visit a friend of mine who lives in Arkansas. So I bought a plane ticket for Saturday and flew out there to spend four days with him and his family. He has been in Brazil for the past two years, and is planning on going back in two weeks, so I really didn't have a very big window to visit.
Anyway, it was a good trip. I really enjoyed spending time with his family and enjoyed the time I spent with him. I tried catfish, which was good, and had some amazing ribs with some equally amazing potato salad.
It was a good trip, but hard at the same time. I really miss the friendship we had before, and its clear that that is not something he is willing to invest in again.
But I really needed to go and I feel good about what happened.
One chapter of my life closed, ready to open the next one.

Wow, that sounds like a fun trip! I'm glad you got to visit the South and eat southern foods. It is quite another world over there. And I'm glad you were able to close that chapter. It feels good to have closure, doesn't it?
Wow. Also, is he returning to Brazil permanently or just to visit?
It was good to visit. If he can, he is going to Brazil permanently. Interesting turn of events, isn't it?
