Life is funny... sort of. Mostly because if we don't laugh at the irony, it'll make us crazy -- and this moving thing has me going NUTS! <LOL> ha-ha-ha-ha. Guffah-guffah-guffah! <sigh>

And what's with meeting new friends, forging new relationships and then having to leave them behind? Why do we meet the really interesting ones (mcb ;-) just before we move on....? dammit! ;-) For that matter, why do we have to leave behind our oldest and dearest friends.... and family (of course, that was a long time ago. )

During major life upheavals (like moving), we reflect on our past, on what we've seen and done -- or not done. In my case I find that I regret losing touch with so many friends over the years. I ponder at how little time I make to spend with my closest friends... my local family-away-from-family relationships. It saddens me....

My gravestone will likely read something like: "Here lies Tom. He used to be our friend, but he lost touch with us. Now it's too late to make it right."

Wow... sobering...

On the up-side, I've met so many wonderful people since I've been here.... If only I could bring everyone with me.... ;-)
