“Heyyyy, Dan the man.” cringey, for sure. But what Gerry always referred to him as. Danny was Dan the Man in Gerry’s off duty phone. Actually a saved number, at that, Gerry had about 25 contacts saved in his contacts. This had not been a problem when he was regularly in the field, without the phone. Being back for 6 months, he was only now regularly saving numbers. Previously seen as a sign of defeat, Gerry had resigned that this was it. This was his life now. Carrying around his sad civilian phone that he hadn’t upgraded in years. 

( @danielthorson ) Morning jams on his way to the library, he had to put together a project for student teaching later for next Monday. After the incident earlier in the week, he was glad to be back doing what he loved to do, forward motion was good. He hadn’t reflected at all on how he had felt, being invisible from everyone and being cut off completely for an entire day. It had made him feel like he was eight years old again, alone in a big house and- forward motion. Shit happens, he’s the guy that recovers and he needed to move on- Danny? “Danny. Hell-o.” Funny running into you here except, no, that’s what happens at school. “hi. how’ve you been?”
