Nobody left to run with Anymore?

As I crawled my way home yesterday at 12:30, painfully aware that the nightclub upstairs from the office was in full swing and that I have 18 items on my scratch "to do list" (must do today) and 41 items on my reminder list, I became a little introspective. Between Neal moving to California a few weeks ago and Matthew soon to head to New Zealand for several months on contract, there have been a lot of changes in "my world". And unfortunately as I have been heads-down at work these significant events have (or have the possibly of) simply passing by without notice or celebration. How do you maintain a friendship and brotherhood half a world away?

Before you cross the street
Take my hand
Life is what happens to you
While you’re busy making other plans
