Sometimes you get reminded that you’re not all that wise. That you can be immature, childish, stupid for no apparent reason.

I had a great conversation with an old friend tonight. We hadn’t talked since my wedding. We played a game of “he hasn’t called back, so why should I?” There was no animosity, no anger, no fight that led to it. There was no reason at all - it just seemed like the natural thing for two grown men to be doing - playing a game of phone chicken.

I miss him. It was great talking to him. Great to hear about his job, his wife, their plans for the future. I resolved to be much better about keeping in touch. And to act like a grown-up.

Sometimes I need that reminder.
