Reunion
Last night, I attended a concert in downtown Knoxville. For much of the show, I was just a face in the crowd enjoying the music. Then, at the end of it, I looked up and saw a face that I haven’t seen in years.
It was a friend whom I’ve known since, literally, forever (our parents were good friends long ago). We lost touch, then ran into each other again around 6th grade, attended the middle and high schools, then slowly lost touch again.
Last night brought talks of old acquaintances with silly habits, where we’ve been in the last 6 ½ years, how we’ve changed, etc., etc. I’ve had several of these conversations over the last year, but primarily through MySpace and facebook. It was nice to have an actual reunion with someone, getting to see them in person and being able to wander aimlessly about a courtyard while we discussed life.
Doh I missed it. I was working.
Thanks for posting this, man. It meant more to me than you could know to finally catch up with you again. And that photo! Talk about “Let’s do the timewarp, again”!
