nope, just blurted it out.  Like Bob Bouren's name.
I feel bad about both.  I'm sorry.
Didn't do it to be a bood buddy - thought you knew actually
and in my mind I went "oh Sh*t"
- I know that there were few occasions when I was a good buddy:
too busy trying to be cool or whatever.

yup.  I was just running it by you to see if after 30 years
there might be some redeeming kernels of fun in remembering it.

I had a great time on the camping trip and I richly deserved the pummeling.
I enjoy remembering it.  I'm a dumb douchebag in some ways but also
a tough little monkey, and I had a great time singing that song in German
that I taught you and your friends.  I am not lying when I say it was one
of the high points of my life.

I had a good time and I like the Craig I remember.
I was worried that you might not like the Mike you remember...
for several good reasons.

I'm different now but I can't deny who I was.

Oh well.  Anyway, thanks for the lift(s) over the years.  Of which there
have been many.

I have a whole bunch of good memories of you that I hope you would
enjoy, but unfortunately I was there during them, being a bit of a creep...
