Kind of a cool story.
My family convinced me to get on Facebook, but I really don't have a lot of time for it. Heck, in this past week it's been hard for me to find time for the forums here.
But I guess it paid off. A friend I haven't seen in twenty years got ahold of me to see how things are going. He was also having problems with his minivan so he brought it to me for me to work on.
Good thing it was a light schedule that day. We wound up shooting the bull for a few hours before I even rolled his van in.
We were inseparable as kids, all the way up to our sophomore year in high school, when his parents got divorced and he and his dad moved a few towns over. The old saying goes that a good friend will bail you out of jail, a true friend is sitting in jail next to you. That was us, sitting in jail next to each other. I don't know how many times we wound up in detention together, if one of us started something, the other was there to finish it.
In the intervening time between our last visits a lot of things have changed. We've both gotten married. He's got five kids.
But it seemed like those years weren't lost. We still think alike. We were finishing each others' sentences. He'd tell a story about something he's done over the past 20 years and I could see what was coming. He was doing the same thing to me. The more things change, the more they stay the same. What a blast!
