the care & feeding of friends
Seeing an old mate this week made me think - I can show my pictures to folk across the world - even to strangers - but I haven't yet had the courage to show anyone who knows me of old.
I wonder how I let myself get so out of touch with old friends. The net should make it so much easier, yet there are local council officers I correspond more with than all my old friends put together. This must change.
We're seeing another old friend tonight - one who's kids I used to sit - who is also leaving town. Funny - she's moving about 60 miles & it feels nearly like our mate who just emigrated to N. Zealand.
Step 1 show her my pics (easy - just don't take them off the wall!)
Step 2 give her an email address.
Step 3 send something to her in the first week. By the end of Nov. tops.
Step 4 get our rl persona web site up by Christmas.
Make the call, send the e, attach the photo, forward the link.
