on saturday i went over the "the badgers" house. he was having a get together for a mutual friend of ours who lives in alaska. tim and his wife kathy come into town every couple of years or so and it's great to get to see them when they do. the night started out a little low key until tim's tullahoma "boys" showed up with the "dickel". i haven't seen the tullahoma "boys" in many years and it was good to see them also. rehashing old times, tim playing "the beatles" songs and us trying to remember the words. some things never change. what has changed was tim's ablility as a musician.
i became friends with tim back in my early years of college. and even though almost 2 decades have passed since the first meeting, there are parts of tim that haven't changed. i can't quite describe what those parts might be, but they are still there and i love him just the same for it. i remember many years of hangin out at tim's house with whoever he was living with at the time. i know now that some of us intruded upon them constantly but i look back at those years as good memories and i wouldn't trade those times for nothing. i don't know if i have said this before but along life's path we met people who make impacts upon us. some come in our lives and then quickly fade away, some come in and never leave. i've been fortunate to have friends that have never left. i may not see them as much as others but the connection is there and it doesn't take long to take up right where we left off.
and i like kathy (tim's wife) also. she is a bunch of fun. she's funny and cute and they match as a couple. and she does seem to be the grounded one, but the women usually are.
they both mentioned that they sometimes read my blog. so i would like to say again that it was great seeing them and i wish i could see them more. maybe one day i'll take my lazy butt up to alaska for a vacation. i love ya both.
