Today was the Hoser’s birthday. Was? Well, by the time I’ve posted, it’s pretty much over. Again, it’s up to him to disclose his age but since he’s one of my best friends from college, it should be relatively easy to deduce.
The year that has passed since I last blathered on about him have been quite dramatic and if you know him, drop him a line. I am sure he is working out the details after his father’s death last year. I know it took some time for the deaths of my grandparents to really sink in after they were such constants in my life. The better development has been the new girlfriend, Nancy. It’s up to him as always to discuss the details over Natalie but I’m glad he didn’t marry her and I say it knowing what he told me, not as some jealous college buddy suddenly getting ignored because Hoser is dating and I’m not. Should everything go according to plan, Hoser will join the ranks of his married friends dealing with all the joys and grief we have: Nelson, Paul & Helen, Phil and me.
I wish there was more I could do for his birthday but I’ll have to make it up to him later until I’m no longer under the weather. I must emphasize again, if you know him, drop him a call, an e-mail or visit his site.
