Reese
Last Friday I saw my old friend and roommate, Reese. I had not seen him since about a year ago when we lived together in Edgewood apartments here in Lakeland (Reese moved to San Fransisco). Last time I saw Rees he got a haircut and said that he would not get another one until it was long enough to donate to locks for love. I thought that was extremely thoughtful, but knew there was know way he would outlast the “awkward phase” that accompanies growing out hair. However, when he pulled up (on his bike) I saw that his hair had indeed grown quite long over the last year. He has not even had a trim since I saw him last July.It’s one thing to have a friend that moves away who you stay in contact with. It’s another thing to sort of lose contact with a friend and then see them a year later. Reese and I sat outside at “The Palace” in downtown Lakeland, recapping what had happened over the last year. We had a great time and I was really glad to catch up. Friends are good.
