My friends Joe and Laura (not my brother Joe--this is a different guy) moved away today to North Carolina with their two little ones. Sad times for me, although I'm glad for them--new jobs, close to family, nice place to live.

My psyche is wired a bit differently from most people--I may not see someone for ten years and then connect like no time has passed at all. I usually don't miss people because they're often in my thoughts (and heck, the Internet keeps people only microseconds away). This time is different. I guess I'm getting old (or middle-aged, at least). Good luck, Joe and Laura--may the wind be always at your back.
