Where have all of my friends gone? Today is a beautiful one with sun, not-too-hot temperatures and a slight breeze. And I’m realizing that all of my friends are in stages of life that don’t allow for Memorial Day spontaneity. They’re either living elsewhere, married, permanently attached at the hip to their lovers, or minding their kids. It’s bittersweet and on the cusp of bummer status. I’m just thinking of older days (not even that older, maybe just two years ago?) when we’d just make a call and have a posse of girlfriends rounded up and ready to tackle the city 15 minutes later. When did we all become adults? And why does the responsibility of adulthood make it so difficult to just up and go to a last-minute lunch with your homegirls?
