Rosa Mexicano

I just had a delicious brunch with Shiv at Rosa Mexicano in Union Square where he questioned me on my life and informed me not at all on his.

I can't believe he's serious about leaving the States and returning to S'pore. I knew he was never here for good, but it seems too short a time to be good enough. We live close enough by in terms of mileage to never see one another--but we do talk frequently. Credit to him, it's where it's due on that one. It occurred to me that I would really miss his voice on the end of the line, "Thompson and Canal!" or his signature, "What up, Duude?" I guess being abroad doesn't preclude a call but there is a comfort in knowing he's just two miles up even if I never traverse those miles.
