"   We&amp;#039;re just back from a week of vacation: several days exploring Boston, then a visit with friends in New Hampshire. Jon is my oldest friend (we met in high school), and I&amp;#039;ve known his wife, Saija, for more than 20 years. We hadn&amp;#039;t seen them in ages, and I got to wondering why. Life intervenes, I guess: house moves, aging parents, job pressures, the demands of raising children. I&amp;#039;d forgotten how much fun we used to have\u2014we explored the area, shared good meals, and I don&amp;#039;t think we ever stopped talking. And it was wonderful to see our kids reconnect. Those babies in the old pictures are now teenagers, and my son was swept up in a whirlwind of activity (I think I saw him long enough to say good night each day). On the cusp of a holiday weekend, I&amp;#039;m looking back at the past few months, and it makes me happy to know that I started and ended my summer by visiting old friends. Here&amp;#039;s to more of that\u2014it&amp;#039;s not too late to give someone you love a call and see what they&amp;#039;re up to this weekend. Or for Thanksgiving, or maybe sometime around Christmas, or maybe not on a holiday at all. But be sure you do it\u2026and write it on your calendar in ink.\u2014Diane Oatis Have you reconnected with old friends recently? Talk about it in Comments.
