This is a piece dedicated to a different time. There were no cell phone ball-and-chains weighing us down, computers had the ubiquitous 56k modem, and mostly we'd all just hang out for fun. This was a common activity for me back then as well; meeting friends after school and having the best of times.

This is also a piece dedicated to friends whom I've long since lost track of. Sometimes they do resurface in the present, but most of them have moved on to greener pastures and wherever their whims and desires may carry them. Someday, perhaps, we'll all be able to reconnect; but for now the halcyon of that bygone era is all that remains.
