Micro-post: connecting

I reestablished contact with an old dear friend over the weekend. We've known each other for eighteen, almost twenty years now. I lost touch with him when he moved last Christmas and my Apple Mail went belly-up, losing all my stored addresses in one go. Fortunately, I found an old e-mail with his address over the weekend and sent off a message.

Old friends are precious. They're a link to the past that, while it doesn't seem to be a big deal in day-to-day life, becomes important when you take stock. I take stock regularly which is probably why I make sure I ping my friends at least once every 6 months if possible.
