An old friend contacted me last week. I last saw him 36 years ago. He found me via the Web. We spoke by phone for an hour. A few minutes after hanging up, a flood of emotions over-took me. We hung out in our early 20's, got married about the same time, had children about the same time, divorced and re-married about the same time. I love it when the circle begins to close, to me it's a great gift.
To most of you under 30's, do whatever it takes to stay in touch with your friends. Everything you have now will fade away in time, except friendships.

So true!
I have a fiend still from my teens - gorgeous name - Memory - and two friends i made at age 28.
Not too long ago someone I went to high school with told me about this other guy the girls thought was so cute, and he liked to pick on me... she said the guy did a few years in the pokey for making bombs in his garage. Some cute guy, huh?
