Intergalactic

A friend of mine joined the military shortly after September 11th, 2001. We weren't real close, but we were in the same core group of friends who would go to bat for one another at the droop of a hat. I haven't seen him since. In highschool he was probably one of the first people I learned to respect in a real way - respect that you see someone and admire their good soul and kind heart and sense of what is right. Aside from the obvious shock that he was enlisting, I was not surprised that he is the kind of person that makes sacrifices and does what he thinks is right.

Our paths will finally cross back in our home town this holiday season and I am excited almost to tears. A mutual friend of ours who he is close with has promised an "intergalactic kegger."
