A Letter to the Past ~ Old friends and time.

This letter is one written to an old classmate of thirty years and more.

Recently reacquainted via technology.
We found each other floating on the digital sea.

THE NAMES HAVE BEEN CHANGED TO PROTECT THE NOT SO INNOCENT.

Hi Char,

Yeah, I keep tryin', no? How have you been all these years? It seems whenever I think of anyone from our old days in school...I can see them in my mind, always smiling.

Couldn't imagine it any other way.

I just spoke to Steve about two hours ago. He sounds good, still lives in San Jacinto. We talked until my batteries died. He's been married for twenty something years now. Me?, I've been married and divorced twice. I still get along with my ex wives, we are friends at least. Thank God for that, nothing worse than a bitter parting. The life I've lived has had all kinds of twists and turns, both for the good and the bad. I hope your life has been a fulfilling one with more happiness than sadness.

We all have a piece of both pies, no? It only hurts because we do it to ourselves, eh?

Do you remember Dale? He, Max and I used to hang quite a bit. What stories we made. Sadly he passed away close to a couple of year ago. It is sad, I can only remember all these people with smiles and young pretty faces. The time passes and as we all meet each other again, I am given to thoughts of our precious time here.

I couldn't tell if you like the music or not. It's okay of course if it's not your style...no offense taken by this boy. I realize the diversity in music and musical tastes. I was made fully aware of the fact when on the way to a show, traveling by taxi over the Brooklyn Bridge, the driver turned back to me and said that "No matter what, "Everybody loves music" I listened to those simple words and realized the truth, that no matter what, there was someone that would listen and enjoy. With that, I have served my purpose, to bring a little sunshine into a dark corner of someone's life, if only for a while.

This band has produced a sound that is close to the time we were in high school... that's what people tell me. I have many more, I released a self produced CD "Near the Edge" It's on iTunes, Napster and all the other sites, played all the instruments myself. It was my first venture with recording and took a year to finish. It keeps me
out of trouble, for sure.

In closing, it is my wish that you are blessed with good health and many blessing of happiness.

Your friend,
Ernest
