An unexpected business trip brought me back to the area where I grew up, the Philadelphia Main Line. I called a couple friends but none were around and so I thought it might be fun to visit one of the nicer haunts where my friends and I used to drink when home from college. It had been 20 years since we were trying to score in this place and except for a name change; it was pretty much the same. As a happily married father of three, I was no longer in the game but after looking at some of the gorgeous women, I figured I better not have more than a few drinks or I might try to make up for lost time.
I was nursing the second drink when a tap on the shoulder brought my attention to an old high school classmate โ Steve Wilson. Although we were not good friends back then, we had a number of friends in common and it was great to see a familiar face. We spent a fair bit of time catching each other up on who was doing what and where from our old class. He spent the last 10 years building a company and seemed to have done fairly well. He married only this year and just built a new house down the road. He invited me down for a nightcap and since he was obviously proud of this place and wanted me to see it, I happily accepted and followed him home in my rental car.
