I suppose one of things about getting older is that younger friends begin to make their mark in the world.
I'm so fond of Lara Davis, one of my friends, and an artist through and through.  I first meet her when she was an undergraduate, an intern for the Pauline Oliveros Foundation, now known as the Deep Listening Institute, and we have been friends since.  The singing (and splashing boiling water) tea kettle.  A lift to the all-night gas station in Rhode Island.  The house on the lake and the dog lured in with beef stew.  The brief stay in 4J.  The times she worked as a human backhoe.  A life in Brooklyn.  And then...  The book portfolio.  MIT.  (All architects should be artists!)  Vaults.   Ethiopia...Switzerland.  Look out, world!
