So, this week I had the good fortune to check up with two of my childhood firends. Now, that may not sound like something that is super impressive, but I moved around to six different states during that time. These are friends that I had thought had basically fallen off the radar/grid. Turns out that I was just looking in the wrong areas, which strangely, reminds me of looking for my keys in the mornings.
I grew up in coastal North Carolina (if you can really call North Carolina coastal), and of course came along with that was the beach boys. One of my refound friends reminded me that at a young age we were rocking out to the Beach Boys.
I have to say that the Beach Boys music has stuck with me. Even when my wife and I were waiting/wanting to get married we would listen to the Beach Boys song Wouldn’t It Be Nice. I have to laugh to say that these childhood memories and experiences has always helped me to have a connection with the beach and beach music. I mean, really, just look at the link above if you doubt me.
There is still one person left on my childhood trifecta that I need to find. Of course they are not on Facebook, but I do think that I have their address and phone number. But, I should probably ask, does it sound crazy to cold call a friend from 20 years ago? Truly, dear reader, I am looking for an answer.
The greatest part in getting in touch with these two is that I feel like a part of my childhood has been vindicated. This was probably why finding them is so important to me.
So, to my two refound friends, if you are reading this welcome. There is not a lot of deep thinking to goes on at the blog, but it’s usually at least a little funny. Welcome, and feel free to poke around the place, and sorry for the rambling.
So, to you, dear reader, I ask the question: What/Who would you like to reconnect with from your life? Why is it important? For me, it was two friends, and the importance comes in justifying my childhood experience.
