A friend of mine called tonight. He's on his way to Afghanistan and was delayed in between planes and said he was going through his address book and calling old friends. He was a grade behind me in school, a wonderful guy with a wicked sense of humor. I haven't seen him in person now for about 5 years. He was married and had a family only when I asked him about them he was kind of evasive so I think things are not going well somehow or he's estranged from them. I told him to send me his email and address and I'd write to him. Now I'm thinking of all the things I've been hearing about Afghanistan and worried about him.
Well, we had a quiet Thanksgiving Day. I won't say the company was the best I've ever had, everybody seemed a bit on edge and snappy at each other. I was happy when we all finally scattered apart.
