A New “Surge” of Visitors?
Sunday was a pretty slow day. So I took the time to e-mail a few people. So, I greet you to this blog. I do have to apologize, I am very good at not talking to someone for a good few months… and then randomly popping up to say hello.
I think that’s part of what I like about military though. You live the day in and out with a group of Soldiers that you grow very tight to, but then at the end of the mission you get reassigned or drift apart. Then you may not see the person for several months or years later. But that reunion, when it does come, is a very happy event because you’ve developed such close bonds with the people. And that regardless of the time spent apart afterwards.
It’s similar to “Fellowship of the Ring” or any other sort of saga where a group of warriors travel together to accomplish a common goal. You each fight for one other and develop those strong bonds. At the end, you go your separate ways. But you still remember the hardships and the good times with those comrades. It’s a bond that never breaks.
I guess I like to spend long, unbroken amounts of time with friends… but then take a break. Until I return and do it again. In other words, despite the lapses between communications with my friends, I do still remember all of you. I just seem to operate in those batches of times.
Well, that’s my excuse for why I tend to drop off the radar from time to time… why I am very bad at keeping constantly in touch.
