Can't Sleep

We are total opposites. Her house is spotless; my apartment is...not spotless. I'm funny; she's not. The list goes on.

Much to her dismay, we've been friends. for over 20 yesrs. Her name is Danica. She was 19 when she saw me for the first time, in her words, "riding a scooter in PE, playing hocky." I don't remember our first meeting, but I'm sure it was charming.

Danica was a new intern at my school, fresh out of occupational therapy school. She still recalls how boring Rock Valley was -- so boring, she hung out with twerp like me.

She's moved on.......she's docter's wife and mom of two boys. We've seen each other about once a year, and this ole' Iowa girl has seen many parts of the US because of the places she's lived. Ask Danica about camping at Lake Tahoe!

And whille I'll never be a neat freak, and she'll never be funny, we'll always be friends.

Oh, Danica, thanks for the memories, chica!! Love you!

Those good friends, especially the polar opposites, they make life good.

Thanks for stopping by and saying hello.
