While I was having a depressing dinner alone in the hotel's restaurant tonight, it was a makeshift ballroom converted into a restaurant due to the renovations going on at the Four Points Sheraton, I also had a chance to chat online with an old friend via my PDA. It suddenly struck me, with the kind of clarity that I only read about, that I had personally "connected" with this person on a whole different level, so many years ago. It happened in the most indescriminate way and under no particular curcumstance. In retrospect, I keep thinking back to the movie "The Breakfast Club", where a group of kids share a bond during a short period of a dentention, but the intensity of it transforms them all from children into adults. Then it really dawns on me, I will always love these these people. No matter what, when, or where.

I get it, I've been there, too. I think back and remember like it was just yesterday and the impact is still here today. Great post, Cap'n!
