thoughts about friendship

well, i'm back - getting a stiff neck/shoulders from typing so much - inputting data for the big project (that i'm getting paid for) - nearing completion but still a lot of typing yet to do (and copying and pasting)

meanwhile i have to get serious about packing & purging stuff - i'm such a packrat! mixed feelings about leaving but it is necessary - i came down here to help my folks and i gave it a year and a half - no money, no progress, no accomplishments

i have to say, however, i did reconnect with some old friends (high school & undergrad school) and it was such a wonderful surprise that so many of them showed up for my wedding, people i hadn't seen in years - of course, only a very few had to travel any distance (say, three or four hours of driving) so it was convenient for nearly everyone else, but i was still quite moved that so many people were able to attend - friendship, real friendship, is so precious and special - i have been fortunate that i can count on one hand how many people have betrayed a supposed friendship and that so many have been there for the long haul - whether by phone, or email, or even snail mail, they are still part of my life - so to all my friends i'd like to say...

From now until the end of time
I am your friend and you are mine
