Quench and Temper
In line with what I've been studying the past few days, carbon steel or alloy steel that has been quenched and tempered (ie. heated and cooled) has the best combination of surface hardness and toughness for high-impact machine parts.
Similarly for friendships, the best ones are quenched (in Guiness) and tempered (in the flames of hardship). Bro, if you're reading this, cheers to you man. Towards perfection.
The simple pleasures of life are often the ones we overlook the most. Some people commemorate the anniversary of their birth with gaudy parties, as self-indulgent as they are lavish.
Me? Beer, chicken and fellowship. Reminiscence of days gone by, reminders of days to come. Not a time to dwell on the moment, but to look back and learn, then look forth and venture.
