Hawk and I continued eating our way through our friends and family this afternoon. We met a pair of old friends,scifantasy and jsbowden, for lunch in Arlington, VA. And no, it wasn't "3 blocks from the Clarendon Metro station" (old in-joke). Actually it was a few blocks from the Ballston metro stop. 😅
These are friends we've had for... upwards of 30 years... on social media. "30 years?" you might ask. "That's 1995!" Facebook only started in 2004 (and didn't really become a dominant platform until 2008). Twitter started in 2006. Even MySpace was only founded in 2003. 🤣 But yes, we were doing social media in the 1990s. It was different then. It was... *gasp*... text based.
Anyway, it was good to see these friends again in 3D. Or, in the case ofjsbowden, I think this is the first time we've ever met in person. 🤯
