At a distance once more

Nothing makes the earth seem so spacious as to have friends at a distance; they make the latitudes and longitudes. ~Henry David Thoreau


Two have already driven out of our driveway in the rented van and on to JFK for an early evening departure. In an hour we'll tuck M in her borrowed car seat for the last time and head to Logan Airport for their departure at 5PM. Tomorrow morning they will beat their elders to Goteborg by about an hour and a half. Life, and our forty year connection will continue on either side of the Atlantic. Life will indeed be sweeter and richer for these lovely days when our longitude and latitude were the same.
