yesterday we had my son's preschool christmas 'concert'... that's not what made me happy - it was kinda painful actually - ha ha!
wrmmh was afterwards there were snacks and stuff and one of the moms came over and started chatting with my wife and i. she mentioned that her husband and i know each other. i was like 'whaaaaa?' where was he? she pointed him out and i'm drawing a total blank. she then tells me his name and then in my mind i'm thinking 'really??' we were friends in high school and haven't seen each other/kept in contact since grad (so almost 30 years). he no longer wears glasses, grew probably 3" and has put on i'd guess 65-75lbs... so it's kind of understandable that i didn't recognize him.
he came over and we started chatted for probably 30 minutes and it was like we hadn't missed a beat - it was awesome. we exchanged contact info will be getting together in january to do an evening of catching up.
it was great to get reacquainted with an old friend and to see that he and his family are doing well!
