Bobby and I

This is my friend Bob Keeler and we worked together at Newsday.  We worked together on the St. Brigid's Church story, and he won the Pulitzer Prize for local reporting.  He is a brilliant reporter and a great writer!  Once we both retired we always got together for dinner every few months, but then Covid came along.  We have had dinner since Covid but it has been quite a while since our last dinner.  Life has a way of getting in the way.  So we had dinner tonight and spent a lot of time just catching up.  He has just finished a new book and it has gone to the publisher and is going through the editing process.  It was so good to "break bread" together after such a long time. I saw this great quote, author unknown about friendship: "We’ve been friends for so long I can’t remember which one of us is the bad influence.."
