Good news, I think

torquillI just talked to Wayne for a few minutes. It didn't give me a good picture (yet) of what's going on in his life, but I'm feeling a bit better.
He said he just got off the plane from yet another business trip... I get the feeling he's been travelling almost nonstop recently, and when he told me what he's doing these days, it made sense. He's been made regional IT manager of a large financial company. A very large financial company. So he's here for a week and a half before he gets sent off again, where he's not quite sure yet...
He did say that the travel has made him feel a lot more independent, and a lot more sure of the relationships he has time to cultivate -- he half-joked that I'm one of those he considers he sees "frequently". But as we both agreed, we have the sort of friendship which never truly changes with time; a year or two could pass, yet when we talk we're still as close as ever. Friends like that are rare.
So that made me think that he may be doing better himself. I assured him that, for my part, I'm doing pretty well... I had hooked him with the comment that "I'm going through a lot of life changes", and he asked whether I was okay. I told him yes, just that things have changed a lot recently, and when he asked me for a summary I threw out what immediately came to mind. Heh. I caught his interest, most definitely, as he said...
He'll be doing his schedule tomorrow, he said, and will put aside some time next weekend for dinner. I'm really hoping he does call tomorrow evening... he was so eager to see me, though, I think he will. He's evidently missed me about as much as I have him. That, and I really made him curious. :)
Here's hoping I can spend some time with him. It's almost a pity that my life is so complicated right now -- I really want to talk to him about how his life is going, but I suspect a lot of time will be spent talking about what's going on with me. Sigh. We'll see.
