Absent friends

Rico says that he thinks of David Brown, his now-ex-friend (his choice; hell, we've only known each other since Rico was nine) every time he walks past the nearby Center for Oneness (photo). No, it has nothing to do with the Enneagram, in which Mr. Brown is, most certainly, a One, and to which Rico, an Eight, was introduced by him, but the coincidence is perfect otherwise.
