Much as I dislike Facebook, it occasionally throws up something good and today was a reconnection with my friend I shared an apartment with in grad school. We actually travelled to the mid west together, from our Scottish homes, two clueless children who flew to NYC and then took a bus to Ohio with no idea about anything.
He had a serious girlfriend he had left behind and actually left before finishing his studies as he did not want to be apart from her. We lost touch but then I saw his girlfriend, then wife, in the ante-natal clinic in Oxford when I was pregnant with my first. He was connected to me by another old grad school friend and we were reminiscing about all the bands we saw that year: Prince, ABC, The Clash, Devo, Peter Gabriel (wot?).
This old girl is going to live with my daughter to keep her company and escape the annoying herding of Charlie. She’ll be happy to escape her Orange step brother as well.
