Old Friends

It was really good to see my former college roommate Seth on Saturday. He was in town for a conference, and we met up for dinner Saturday night. Over some BBQ at the Village Smokehouse — yum — we made up for lost time, since we'd only been in touch intermittently over the last nine years. It's always great to hang out with old friends and have it be like not a day has gone by. It felt that way with Seth, laughing about people we used to know, reminiscing about psycho ex-girlfriends (actually, just mine), good times, and catching up on our lives now. We've both changed a lot since graduation, but in some key ways, we're both exactly the same. And that's a real comfort to know. I hope we'll stay in better touch from now on.
