Men don’t often eat lunch with other men. sadly. I’m having lunch today with my friend John Rieger. He runs County Power Products, a very popular agricultural services center. I had lunch with John a few months ago. It was the first time he went out to lunch unrelated to work in 50 years.

Today will be the second time. Our friendship seems to be sticking, and I’m grateful for that. John is one of the good men and the good people. After that, off to the chiropractor. My surgical boot is throwing my back out of whack.
