Old Ties Never End

Well here we are at Wednesday. I met up with another friend that I have known since I was 17years of age and we have kept in contact on and off. You know how it is you move around. I was amazed at how he had looked I was looking for some new glasses while I decided to call him. His name is Jim and while we were in high school we I never thought that he would amount to much.

Ironically today was the first time that we met up. We had lunch and I was in the midst of ensuring that my folks got to the doctor as my father has come down with a serious viral infection. So I right at the opening of the store early in the morning I was in there browsing around - man, there is an array of glasses one can buy now. So there after I called my cousin Caroline and we are getting together within the next few days, but when it came to finishing off with my folks and making sure they arrived home - there was Jim on the phone.

"Let's do lunch", he hollered and I had to laugh as I know he was excited to see me since I have not seen him in three years and I was as well. Well I will be darn Jim went to get his masters and then now he is a works within federal corrections.

But the amazing thing is that he had put on some weight. And I told him that straight out when we me and then he explained to me, "you know wife and kids and so forth". And Jim is not fat, but ironically I guess at a certain age things do change with the body.

Possibly men do have a change as much as women do. But aside of that it was great visit. Ironically some people are very stand offish with having there picture taken. As within these times some really don't want there picture taken if it's something that is on the internet - this is true. I can't tell you how many that I have come across that are like this.

Aside of that I have yet to get new glasses and shall and I really am on that just likes something that is not here today and gone tomorrow if you know what I mean.  So all in all it was a good day as cold as it was. 

I have yet to decide on the pair of glasses but aside from that it was a productive day.
