I always love reading the conversations here, but I've been really irregular about checking in. I'm going to try and be better about that, but I feel like I"m getting worse at meeting people and making new friends as I get older. I miss the days when I could make friends with another kid by showing them the shiny rock in my pocket.
@moheganman Isn't it pretty? My friend Dino gave it to me. (that's not a joke, or a Flintstone's reference; his name really is Dino).
