Last Friday I received a random facebook message from one of my friends in high school. We had not seen each other for ten years and she said she was heading to Madrid (had a two-day stop there) and could I meet her. I jumped at it. First, Shannon is a treat. She was stellar in high school - confident and beautiful and brave and I was certain she would be stellar ten years later. So, Xavier was a very obliging travel agent and booked a flight using the many frequent flyer miles he racks up traveling all over the place for work.
So, here we are:
And indeed. We saw Madrid, it was all around us. But more, we saw each other. We ran through the trajectories of both of our lives over the past ten years - how we ended up where we are. Her, a ceramicist/art professor in northern California (please do look at her stuff, she rocks) and me a fancy-free girl in Paris. We divulged, drawled and prattled all day and all night and still hadn't covered it all.

Does this mean that Facebook cost me 30,000 miles?
