I reconnected with an old friend on Facebook. Finally, with all the "friends" I have, I have an actual old friend who was a friend indeed way back when. That's rare.
But I don't know where it will lead. Maybe nowhere. Because it doesn't really have to. There's still distance ... and all the years. It's not that I absolutely haven't seen him in around 35 years. I saw him once in the mid '80s, it seems like, then definitely in 1986. And a couple times around 1974-75. Other than that, nada.
There's "old times," then there's now. Whether there's any now for us ... I don't know. I don't know what it'd look like if there were. We're old timers essentially.
