I once drove 1.5 hrs on a beautiful fall day to play poker with some HS friends. The host got too blasted in Atlantic City the night before and never made it back to his house. I sat in front of his place for 30 minutes before one of my other boys called to tell me the game was canceled. I could have done a hike with the wife and dogs but missed that opportunity. What pissed me off the most is that the host didn't see how he was at fault. He said he made a killing at the tables and got too drunk....
I'm only 29, but as we get older your circle of friends gets smaller and smaller. We had a legitimate crew of 20 guys in HS that did everything together. Out of those 20 guys I stay in touch with and plan activities with 2 of them.
