Rocks and Riches

Thanks for the post, Vernon Lowe

I met Joe one day while I was out bowling alone. I was relieved to have someone decent to talk to and to keep the creepy guys away. I never expected that five years later we would be best friends.

Joe's a really great guy, sweet and charming, always there to lend a hand when I need one. He keeps my head on straight, and I really think I have become a better person because of him. The other day I was on the phone with him while I was leaving my house. He had to remind me to set my home Security systems; I don't know what I would do without him.

Apart from late night bowling we do a lot together. Last weekend we went out rock climbing in the foothills, that was a hoot. I don't think I have ever fallen down so much in my life. Afterwards, we went out for Chinese food; Joe even speaks a bit of Mandarin, or at least thinks he does. It's hilarious to watch him go on with the wait staff trying to order with his horrible accent.

On Sundays we get together and watch the game. Joe's not into football all that much, but he watches because he knows I like it.

He's a really great guy. My best friend Joe.
