So, in college I was really close with my friend Clark. Freshman year I spent a lot of nights sleeping beside him. We were really tight, up until my senior year when I moved off campus. We lost touch, essentially, with neither of us trying very hard. But I had his number, so I wasn't worried. Until September 11, 2001. See, Clark was in the Marine Reserves. I knew, sooner or later, that he was likely to be activated. So I started calling. I'd get voicemail, but never hear his voice. For six years.

This morning, I got a Facebook friend request from him. He's alive and well.

The internet is a wonderful, wonderful thing.
