I’m 4-F!
I’m flying out to Jupiter, Florida on Friday, 10/21. I’m going to meet an old Army buddy of mine. I’ve known this friend for over 20 years and I consider them to be one of my best friends. Through thick and thin, this person has been there for not only me, but also for my family members. We tend to pop in and out of each others’ lives every few years. I guess this is my turn to pop.
I am really looking forward to this. I’ve never been to Florida. That’s another state I can cross off my list. I’ve been coast to coast on this continent, but it might be nice to spend some time on the Florida waters. I hope the sharks don’t bite too hard. 
Since the last time I’ve seen my friend, we’ve lost family members, seen divorces, graduations, child births and some of our siblings go through stuff and what not. We’ve both been there for each other, and it will be good to see each other again. It’s just a visit for six days, but it will be nice to see my friend again.
Edit: The FOOM is just so I can say I’m 4-F. It stands for Friends Of Old Marvel, to quote Stan Lee. I needed another ‘F’ word. That’s how old our friendship is. Sue me.
