this is Ryan.

my original best friend.

his family was my family – still is.

we dove Cayman twice.

hiked Colorado twice.

dined at Frank and Kathy Lee’s once.

and usually always have a role in our ‘old stories’.

he was the first, the pioneer,

moving to Israel 16 years ago,

after visiting once.

he writes for a well-known publication.

and is my friend.

the kind of friend that needs not a catch-up,

but just a beer.

I like friends like these.
