I dreamt that my wife threw a birthday party for me. Many of my old friends showed up, people I have not seen for months or years.
At the risk of sounding Stephen Colbert, what delighted me the most was that my few African American friends made it to the party. Living in this segregated society, I have had little opportunity to make friends outside my ethnic group. I have always cherished those friendships, because they provided me with a different perspective on things.
