Figuring it Out

I got the strangest email the other day.

From an acquaintance that I haven't seen in probably 4 years.

It was weird. Out of the blue. Totally unexpected.

My first instinct was to write a nice note back.

Then I started thinking about it - he didn't care how I was doing.

He heard that I may be in a position that could possibly be of assistance to him in the future and he thought he better get back in contact. (Seriously, I don't even know how he got my email address.)

I guess part of growing up is figuring out when someone is a friend because they care - as opposed to when they think you can offer them something.

Growing up stinks...
