39 Years of Friendship

It was a crisp Fall day, just like this one only crisper. We were on the same flag football team in PE. We called it Gym. He was tall and blonde, I was short and dark. I complained bitterly about the condition of the field. We bonded. And the Seinfeldian adventure began. All through High School and beyond. In college we took different paths but after that we set out for California. We loved The Clash, Talking Heads and The Grateful Dead. It was The Dead that lured us to San Francisco and we never went back (to live). Thanks Phil, for the myriad of gifts and the friendship. It’s been a blink of an eye. We’ll be geezers together soon enough.
