And now I turn to you, dear reader. Pick up the phone and call someone you haven't spoken to in awhile. Not because you want to be best buddies. Not because you even want to get together for coffee.

Because you never know when you won't have the chance again.

I tried calling OSC, but I don't know his phone number.

...

Seriously, though, losing touch with old friends is a very sad thing. People have such full lives, though, that even with the instant communication of e-mail, we don't make the effort.

I contacted an old friend not long ago and the reaction was really kind of blase. It was a real let-down. Not even a "oh cool, how are you doing?"

Oh well.

I guess I should be glad he e-mailed back at all, it's not like either of us has made an effort to keep in touch over the past 10 years.

Well, come on now, I'll even waive the 976 charge this this time. [Wink]
