The Miracle of modern communications...

Yesterday I found yet another person who has seen the Light: one of my old friends is a devoted Guinness worshiper! I feel like we're in a cult that reaches in the farthest parts of the world... We have the secret handshake and all, it's great... :)
No but seriously, I'm amazed at what can happen nowadays with the incredible means of communication that are available to us. Eight years ago, I was in Vanuatu (you don't know what that is? Look it up...) and I had some very good friends. But being lazy, and also so far away from each other, it wasn't easy to keep in touch after we got separated. So basically I lost all contact with my friends about eight years ago.
Last week, I received an email at work from one of those friends! He lives in France, but is currently working in the United States for the summer. We exchanged a couple of emails and decided that he should definitely come see me. So now here he is, and after all these years, we still say the same dumb things and laugh at the same dumb jokes... It's great! Although life has taken us in very different directions, we still manage to have fun.
But the best thing is he loves Guinness. So I have to go buy some more, a lot more.

Cheers,

Tata
