So I get a call this afternoon...form a 402 area code. Nebraska...cool, used to live there. I answer it and I recognize the voice but he sounds drunk. It is an old buddy of mine--prolly my best bro in the world. A guy I hung with almost every day when I lived in Omaha. His family was great--I loved his kids like my own.
Okay, so he says, yeah, I'm just sitting here at the Langley billeting having a smoke...I'm like...IS THIS BRAD? he goes "yeah"...and I said did you just say you were at Langley billeting? He goes "yeah"....so after I called him an a-hole we start BSing..he's here on temporary duty inspecting another weather unit on the base. So we all went out to dinner--what a great night. I haven't laughed that hard in a long time--catching up on old times and old adventures--it was awesome.
His wife called at some point, and I chatted with her and his daughter as well. I haven't spoken to them in a few years, despite an occasional "what's up" e-mail. It was really cool to catch up and really made me miss them.
He's in town for another day so we'll all hang out again tomorrow...but WOW...what a cool surprise.
