I was so excited when this joint pair of conferences I used to attend was to be hosted by Washington University in Saint Louis--my old employer and my old hometown.
Not real hometown, of course. I was born in NH. But I hold a strong affection for the place. Matt was also to attend, and we agreed to rent an AirBnB in the historic neighborhood of Soulard, where I had once lived, rather than the hotel suggested by the conference.
Matt joined me on a long walk around the neighborhood, and I pointed out all the things and places I'd loved--mostly still there. At one point, he noted, "I've never seen you happy before."
