sometimes i go and browse the web and click on a link of a once-good friend to see what they are up to.  sometimes i find on their blog that their life and my life have diverged to the point where it is hard for me to even imagine what it used to be like.

there are other blogs that i read where i wish that that person and i still kept in touch, but for reasons that may or may not be beyond my control we just aren’t in touch anymore.  i guess that’s just how life works.  there’s an ebb and flow of people that just come in and out of your life.

i was listening to some radio program this morning and they were talking about how the differences between men and women and how they maintain their friendships.  women will keep in constant contact with each other, call each other up and chat, go out to meet with each other.  what do men do?  one of the radio hosts said that guys don’t do all that stuff and don’t need it.  you are my friend, i don’t need to maintain our friendship, when we meet again, we’ll still be friends.  simple as that.

i wonder if it really is as simple as that.
