Old Friends

Posted by Stuart at 08:59 AM on February 19, 2004

I got a bad bit of news in my email box yesterday. A good friend of mine from my college days severely injured his spinal cord in a skiing accident in Whistler last weekend. My thoughts are with him and his family now. May he have a speedy recovery.

But, distancing myself from the emotions for a moment, and it is an amazing thing to be instantly connected to friends I haven't seen in a decade through a touch of a button on my computer. As I look over the list of names in the CC list list, I try to imagine everyone as mid-30-somethings, rather than the 21 and 22 year olds that are in my memory.

So now I am imagining sitting around a table swapping stories with older, yet familar faces. We are all laughing and remembering a special period of our lives where we truely lived life to the fullest. Hopefully, the small kids running around and under and on the table aren't listening too closely, or are at least too young to be able to listen and learn about what Daddy was really like back then...
