As promised, I'm starting another round of the Thirty-Day Photo Meme. I've been missing your feedback and interaction and I hope you enjoy these photos and the commentary enough to let me know.

Day 1 - A Photo With Water In It


Canon Beach, Oregon
February, 2003
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
My dear friend, David, is one of the most gregarious people I know and one of the great joys in his life is introducing one set of friends to another set. At the time this picture was taken, I had known David for about a decade and had been a frequent visitor to his home in Seattle. On this particular trip, he took me down to coastal Oregon to introduce me to two of his oldest friends, Connie and Mike, who he’d known for close to forty years. Despite our age difference, he thought we’d have a lot in common.

He was right. Mike was a linguistic anthropologist and his wife, Connie, was an artist who loved to feed people. The weekend was magical. And of course, the setting didn’t hurt. David got me up a little after dawn for a walk along the beach, which was when I took this photograph.

A couple of years ago I tried adding my old roommate/friend on facebook, and she never added me back though her settings were public such that I could see she was adding other people. Considering that I didn't have anything negative with her, just a lapse of years, that was enough to scare me off adding others.

I got into fandom with my best friend from college (after college) and, in the midst of a major depressive episode, I seriously dropped the ball on some things in a group we were both a part of, planning a big event. I haven't talked to her since. This was in 2000 so it seems ridiculous to contact her now, but I really do miss her.

I hope you do. My best friend since junior high and I often have lapses of years between getting in touch when life gets in the way and yet we just pick up right back where we were whenever we do get back together. True friendship will last the test of time.
