Caulton Tudor had a good read about NC State’s new football coach Tom O’Brien in this weeks paper. It essentially talks about how much respect TOB is gaining throughout the state from high school coaches and media types but I took something else out of it. TOB’s philosophy on friends is exactly the same conclusion that I came too a month ago:

O’Brien and some of his friends decided that life is too short for good friends to become disconnected by professional obligations, be they Xs and Os or corporate board meetings. They vowed to get together for something special every other year thereafter.

I came to that same conclusion with my CORH group of friends and set in motion a plan so that we do something every year. Each year someone from the group picks something for us to do or a place to go and the rest of us have to work our schedules around it. This year should be the first trip somewhere.

Now, if I could only get that slapnut in Seattle to do the same, I’d be off to a nice start.
