Distant Past Revisted

Dale and I became the best of friends in 2nd & 3rd grade while attending Pinecrest Private Elementary School in Los Angeles (Woodland Hills). I believe I was 7 years old when we met. After 2 years, I transferred to a public school closer to where I lived, losing touch with Dale. As the years passed, I often wondered "what ever happened to Dale" and how life was treating him. Roughly 3 years ago, I decided to look for him..... friendster was popular so that's the first place tried, & low and behold I found him. I sent him a message and he responded immediately (He was shocked to hear from me). So, the past 3 years we tried to connect but failed miserably (busy schedule, busy lives, he lives in Atlanta). After 25 years we finally reunited in December of 2005 @ Pam's Real Thai (I'm sooo predictable). How crazy and bizarre to be sitting across from one of my best buddies from my childhood years. While savoring my Pad Key Moa, we caught up on life experiences and reminisced over our past memories. Booze is always a crowd pleaser so immediately following dinner, we went to Chelsea for drinks at G, Gym & Barracuda...yes, he plays for the same team. :-) Great guy, great time...I look forward to his next visit....

Which is today....Dale is back in town. He just called me about 10 minutes ago and we arranged to have lunch @ Whole Foods located in Time Warner Center @ Columbus Circle. How spontaneous is that? I'm grateful to have the opportunity to see him again....Life needs a little spontaneity.
