I woke up one morning with this text message from Frodo: "Look outside your window."
True enough, he was standing outside the gate bearing a DVD copy of our dragon boat China trip last June.
Since my DVD drive, for some reason, doesn't play back the copy, we had breakfast instead at the nearby McDonald's.
"I'm a new person." Really. "I've started going to the gym, in place of rowing. And I'm into wake-boarding as well."
I thought he was still active in rowing. I haven't seen him for quite some time.
And then he sort of dropped a bomb: "My wife's pregnant."
Aware that he already has three kids, I said, "Oh my God."
I was supposed to say Congratulations, unfortunately that didn't come out of my lips.
