Visitor from out-of-town

I haven't seen this friend for around 24 years. He was in the area for business and so it was great to get together.

There have been a lot of changes since then and this is to be expected. What was a happy surprise is how much he seems just like he did from back in the days when we were in school together. Even though our lives are filled with much more responsibility now, he is still the same easy-going guy.

Lots of coincidences too: We were both runners, but we both just ran marathons in the last couple of months after not running one since the 1980's. We each have three children, and each got a dog after never having one or growing-up with one.
