Mickey is an old friend of mine from high school days. We haven’t had great contact over the years, but 2 days after Thanksgiving I received a phone call from him at my parents’ home. He saw all the cars in my parents’ driveway and was thoughtful enough to check to see if I was one of the visitors. He ended up coming over and we talked about philosophy, books, cartoons, art, social issues and what it’s like to raise 3 children (his) among other things. We listened to music and laughed our heads off over funny videos. We shared things we are currently doing with our lives and things we want to do in our lives. For nearly 2 hours I was reminded of one of the best moments of high school—-chatting it up with my old friend Mick.
