David Update ...

Work Pal David and I have decided that "Work Pal" implies a solely professional relationship, and as we've drifted more firmly into friendship, I asked him today to pick a new modifier.

And so, for the purposes of blog entry anecdotes, for those of you keeping score, Work Pal David shall henceforth be known as Enigmatic David, a title of his own choosing, but with which I wholeheartedly agree.

The fascinating thing about becoming friends with him is his illustration of the adage "You can't judge a book by its cover." First impressions are good for a lot, but they surely don't tell the whole story.
