Formerly
Caught up with an old chum today. Over the years, I have not just grown apart from longtime, oldtime friends - I have positively separated from them. Childhood, high school, college companions. In every group I have a few "do not touch" types.
It's too bad since it does spoil the water it sits in, so to speak, and when you decide someone in particular is out, then you end up leaving out a few others.
But it's good to catch up with folks from time to time and see how it all has gone.
I realize that things have gone quite surprisingly for me too, and that there are now big distances between me and my natural peers.
