As I was getting ready for bed

..yes, I know it is early...but 430AM comes early for old guys.

Anyway, as I was getting ready for bed the familiar "ding" notifying me of a text message came.

Shit...who is texting me at this time of night. It ususally means nothing good or a scammer, which also is nothing good.

Am I going to have to go out? The wind is not blowing and othere than the cloudy skies preventing me from seeing the blood moon, the weather is fine.

I don't recognize the number, but the opening line is "How are you? Still driving your Scout?" Which is strangely specific. I open the text and here is a string of conversation from about 4 years ago and it is a college buddy. We were in many of the same engineering classes and were lab partners in a couple of them.

So...after an hour and a half of texting back and forth, I am now wide awake...but it honestly was a nice conversation. Brought back some fun memories and also made me wonder where I went wrong....he has retired...and is a year younger than I am.

That, and he named his dog after me....jeez...
