I've missed having intellectual conversations. Catching up with Zaretskiy (his name is Alex, I just like calling him by his last name) was very fun. I'd almost forgotten what it was like to have an intellectual conversation without having to stop periodically to search for signs of life. We got so immersed with our conversation that we talked for 4 hours straight. It was nice talking to someone without getting a blank stare.
