The Downside of Looking Up Old Friends

Things don't always work out the way we hope for our long lost friends.

We've all looked up old friends online; shoot, that's pretty much the whole point of Facebook.Β  We post our best photos, lie about our perfect kids, brag about fabulous vacations that we couldn't afford.Β  You know the drill.

But things don't always work out the way we expect in terms of what we hope to find, and more importantly in terms of what we hoped for our long lost friend.

I wrote a little story about such an experience, and the nice folks over at The Good Men Project picked it up.Β  It's a short one, but it's worth a look:Β  http://goodmenproject.com/featured-content/brand-life-as-ronnie/

Enjoy, and while you're there poke around The Good Men Project a bit.Β  You won't be disappointed.
