    Pete and I got lost in Lisbon for six hours one summer. He insisted he knew the way back. He didn't. Best afternoon of that trip.

    Found this in a shoebox last night. We were seventeen. He still owed me forty dollars.

    I want to tell you about the time he showed up at my dad's funeral in Detroit. Just appeared. Two flights, no notice. I never did ask him how he got there.
