Last weekend was my 49th semi annual get together with my friends. Yeah, 49 years. Looking forward to next year! We used to camp out on rivers and lakes in Arkansas, sleeping under the stars, cooking fish we caught for lunch/dinner, embellishing stories of younger, more inebriated days. Discussing loves lost or won, fortunes made and/or squandered, kid issues, ex-wives, new wives, career challenges and politics. We still discuss many of the same topics, but we are all stable in careers and relationships now, thank God.
Most of us are 64-67 in age, about 10 people in total, many of us went to 3 different high schools in Central Arkansas. Some are poor and never made much money, 3-4 are worth over $20,000,000 each. Yet, we have stayed friends through thick, and thin.
just wondering, do any of you get together with friends on a regular basis? We get together twice a year, usually spring and fall. No kids, no spouses. Just the guys. Good food(yeah, I am the main cook), good whiskey, good stories, good poker playing, now great accommodations, decent fishing. No bragging, just fun. 4 have passed away in 49 years.
Do you do much the same? Or is this unique?
