Zack

This is Zack, one of my best friends. We've known each other for 30 years. He recently quit his job in Santa Fe, N.M., and is doing some traveling before deciding where to settle down. He was in Las Vegas last week.

He lived in Santa Fe for five years. He was waiting at a restaurant but got sick of his life after that long, so he quit and is living off savings for a few months. I'm trying to persuade him to move here so we can hang out again.

It was good seeing him, as it always is. We last saw each other in March before our friend Daniel died.
