Reconnecting
I've reconnected with an old friend in California this past week...
Life has a way of getting in the way of some friendships. In our case, time difference is a royal pain in the rump. Diana and I work off hours from each other anyway and my being three hours ahead in time zones doesn't help. Good thing we both tend to be rather insomniatic.
Time difference aside, it's just been one of those things, I guess. We've not been involved as much on the same internet lists and that lessened our daily contact. Since I don't turn on AIM regularly, I have no way of knowing she's online at the same time unless I happen across an email post. Plus, I'm just not online as late as I use to be...most days...now that the alarm sounds at 5:30 for work. Even insomniacs need some sleep.
Anyway, this weekend, I saw an email pop up and I signed into AIM. I think she probably fainted when she saw me online. But it was nice. We chatted a long time. Played catch up. Spent more time online together tonight. Nice.
It's a shame that we let real life get in the way of relationships. Especially those we really don't want to lose.
I'm making a conscious effort to correct that in my own life.
If there is someone you've neglected to write to lately...try reconnecting. I would wager it will brighten your day.

Hey Dawn,
It's Mark.......Just catching up on the rants!! Your fingers must be sore !!! On the Tech II piece, just to let you know, I still have and use my original Pioneer reciever with all 40 watts/chanel,VU meters(only one works now)and tubes that have to warm up that I bought with my first real pay check(28 yrs ago). It brings a smile to my face every time I turn it on !!
