Snoopy - It is fun to catch up with old friends like that. I recently was contacted by an old friend and let me tell you she has done some amazing things with her life. I feel so proud and honored to know her.
The fun thing with old friends like that is they know your history. The bond we share with our childhood friends is quite remarkable. One of my high school friends and I were talking about that once.
I hope you get to meet up with your friend soon.
