Mmmm, Fire Good

Tonight I met up with my friend Peter, whom I haven't seen in more than 2 years. It was so great catching up, although we both seem to have entered middle age during our time apart. So the conversation was more about aging parents and creaky joints than about finding the right career path and thoughts about whether/when to have children.

"We were young at being old."

And I stared into this faux fire at the restaurant, thinking the left flame looks not unlike a velociraptor. But also about how primitive the attraction and the fear of it are, and how universal the experience is.
