Old Friend

I met up with an old friend today. He and I grew up together and we used to party together when we were in high school. Every weekend consisted of getting drunk either at "the Tarzan", the golf course, at the end of Covington or at some one's house. We would also play poker a lot.

We talked about the old times. Man, we really had fun back then. We did some crazy things that if I tried now I would probably end up dead. hahaha

After seeing him I realized how I used to be. I sure have changed a lot since then. I started to change when I was married. I was only 19 at the time and I grew up fast. I went from party animal to husband and a few years later to father. I look back fondly on those times. It seems we forget most of the bad things and only remember the good. That's a good thing.

It's good to relive the fun times but I'm not sure I would want to live like that now.

Things are changing again and I wonder if in 20 years I can say that I had a good time. I guess only time will tell.

Anyway, it was good seeing you again buddy, I know all of us from the neighborhood will get together again soon. Good times man..... good times.

Remembering

While I was working the other day, a story I once read popped into my mind. It was "The case of the missing spectacles". I have no idea why I remembered it at that time.

I wonder what's up?

Farming

I have been doing a lot of farming lately. I planted grapes, strawberries, potatoes, sunflowers, coffee and hay. I was able to hire help to harvest it too. The farm is going well. I should be able to buy a house soon.

I really am enjoying it and I enjoy my neighbors.
