I had a lot of fun last night with someone I haven't seen in over 20 years, but it came at a price. Since being on Facebook and reconnecting with some people from many different aspects of my past, I had my first opportunity to hang out with one of them. Leslie Petri (formally Aimone) who I have known since grade school invited me to hang out ( Read more... )
