About Friends

I recently got a phone call that I never expected. The call was from a friend that I have not seen in months and expected to never see again. My friend Sam Cho called from Korea and we talked for about twenty minutes. His phone call made me feel happy inside and I like that feeling. I look forward to seeing Sam and his family again in the future.

I also got reacquainted with some friends that I had not seen in a couple of years. That reunion, likewise made me happy. I see a pattern developing here. I think that staying in touch with old and new friends just might be a way to bring joy into your life at regular intervals. I'll work in it and let you know.

I'm still stuck in Indiana but my departure day is getting closer. It just dawned on me that my shipped goods will be arriving in Alaska after I do. This is bad because my initial stock of groceries are in these shipments. As a fat guy, this troubles me, but not too much because it will do me good to eat less. I don't think there is any real threat of starvation until I go for a month or so without food.

Back to the subject. The message here is, thanks for staying in touch, friend (this means you).

Until next time, good bye.
