Ear to Ear

Cows just remind me of college.

Tonight was a night of surprises for me.  Over the years, I had lost touch with so many friends and with the help of technology have managed to reconnect with some of the most special.  Not meaning to diminish any relationship I have had over the years but there have been a handful that were "moments" for me when the reconnection had been made.

Today was another connection that was special.  This one goes back to college.  Preferring not to give away information that this person may not want posted on the World Wide Web, I shall keep all things nameless and discreet.  Let's just say, I had sent message to this person 6 months or so ago and had not heard back.  My initial reaction was that the person preferred not to acknowledge the past.  Although that was sad for me to consider, I can understand that and harbored no ill feelings at all.  Lo and behold, I come home this evening, fire up the 'puter and wham bam!!!  There is a reply! Smiles as big as the East is from the West expand over my face and I read my mail.  I am overjoyed to learn my friend has enjoyed a happy life, is married, has a daughter, and has great grammar. :) 

Anyone who has received an email from me in the past may realize that when I sit before a blank page and have things on my chest, I let it flow and words and sentences turn into paragraph after paragraph and before ya know it....there's a novella in works!  This is what I did this evening!  Hopefully my long windedness (this may not be an actual word) doesn't discourage a second reply.  But when 26 years have gone by there is so much to catch up on, you can't possibly do it under a million words or so. 

Yay, that's all I can say!  What an awesome way to end my day!
