A Good Friend

Dave, a friend of mine from way back came up from Austin for the weekend to catch up on old times. He and I have been friends since we were 12. We lost touch the day before 9/11 and just now got back in touch.
Actually, we lost touch back in ‘93 when I moved to Hawaii. We would meet up whenever I was in Austin to visit, but it was never really the same as when we were growing up. We skateboarded together all over our area and spent the night at each other’s house all the time. After I moved to Hawaii, it was good to see each other again, but it felt different.
This time when he came up, it was more like old times. It was like those 10 years of little communication didn’t make any difference. In fact, we found out that we had very similar views on all kinds of issues.
It’s my turn to go to Austin next. I’m not sure when that’ll be, but I’m looking forward to it.
