From Pittsburgh-The small group of men gathered over soup, salads and flat-bread sandwiches at their regular Tuesday lunch table at Houlihan’s at the Galleria of Mt. Lebanon.
The waiter filled their coffee and soft-drink orders, which he knows by heart. The men bantered a little about the Pirates’ latest acquisition and had some fun at the expense of one of their regular attendees, absent for a winter sojourn down South.
But without losing its casualness, the conversation held to a purpose. “How’s everyone’s week?” one of them asked. “... Hey, what’s going on with you, anything?”
They shared anxieties about aging parents and grown-up children. They told of searches for new jobs and overflowing inboxes at existing jobs. They committed to praying for each others’ struggles.
