I had no choice but to RSVP in the affirmative when my friend O.&rsquo;s invite to his house warming party finally arrived, largely because I had harassed encouraged him strongly into putting it together. He had just bought a house on the other side of town, and starved of hanging out time, I&rsquo;d seized upon that as an excuse to badger him into setting something up.</p> https://archive.rustgeek.me/2011/05/07/at-the-insistence-of-o/ Sat, 07 May 2011 19:44:21 +0000 https://archive.rustgeek.me/2011/05/07/at-the-insistence-of-o/ <p><a href="https://archive.rustgeek.me/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/aberdeen-beach.jpg"><img alt="aberdeen beach" loading="lazy" src="https://archive.rustgeek.me/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/aberdeen-beach.jpg"></a></p> <p>I owe my Saturday afternoon out to the persistence of my friend O. It is 3.30pm when his call comes in. Having taken the luxury of a long weekend off, I have rocked my couch well nigh to extinction, subsisting on NCIS and CSI and re-runs of The District on the television. The bright and sunny day out there has not been enough to lure me out of my comfort zone. He has been holed up for a different reason. Finals on his PhD are coming up thick and fast, and he is grateful for the chance to take a breather.</p>
