take wayward (but you're trying to entice back home) friend from law school out sailing when he returns to town this week

remind him that he's still a number of things that his current job might like to encourage him to not be

(and, of course, enjoy the sailing)

Can't take anyone sailing unless the wayward soul appears today; tomorrow I jet off to Montana. Alas.

I would suggest adding to your list: (x) read several newspapers completely while eating breakfast outside on a bright weekday morning; (y) smoke a cigar while sitting under a tree in the middle of the afternoon; and (z) read one of those classics that you feel guilty for never having read.

i knew there'd be a kink in the plan
