an old pal answered my email. Been over 30 years since we last saw each other.

Some time ago I reflected on the people who had gone through my life and asked myself who I wished I had kept in contact with (i.e. I made no effort) because they were decent folk who were worth knowing and this dude was one of them. There was only one other person and he didn't get back to me.

It was a very confronting time sending off my two emails. No replies for two months (the dude that did get back to me had a serious health issue which is why he took so long) but I was reminded of that saying:

"the chill a man feels when old friends stop returning calls".

There were two dames I did make an effort to keep in contact with but they ghosted me! Ah well.

So...some good news in my life!

Sorry, mate. Been busy at work lately.

Nothing personal.

If I haven’t spoken with someone in thirty years, there’s probably a good reason.
Fuck em.

It's strange that you raise this topic, I go through a Medium at a seance

If you were "seancing" for me then...thanks bro. Decent folk on this planet are as scarce as hens' teeth and when we come across one we should value them but when you're young and competitive etc you let silly and minor issues break up a good friendship.

I used to lie awake at night sending out thought-messages to this chick begging, yes begging, her to contact me but she had her receptors turned off my channel. After 9 years of failed night-messaging I now just go to sleep.
