Heard from an old friend through the blog on the comments this week. It was great to hear from him again.
Chris and I met at Chapel Hill in August of 1987, and became friends when I flipped through his record collection and felt awed that someone else besides my brother and I listened to cool music.
Many games of pool, all you can eat pizza ("take another little PIZZA my heart now, baaaabaay"), trips to Taco Bell for five soft tacos, hanging out in Old West with Keith and the the other Deadheads, playing me "something with guitar in it," and much "hassling of the Word" made for a pretty cool friendship.
I am not very good at staying in touch with people with whom I have been close and then subsequently moved away from, but I am glad that the Interweb is out there to keep us all connected.
I say we all take some time today to try to Google someone from our pasts and renew an old friendship -- life is too short not to stay in touch with people who matter, and who are probably waiting for you to get in touch with them. The worst thing that can happen is they won't respond, and then you just move on to the next one on your list.
Happy Friday!

Yeah, I was gonna do that Google thing. But I think she still has a restraining order against me....
I think you should go ahead -- you can always say it was a sophomore you gave an "F" to five years ago who held a grudge and impersonated you.
