Have you seen me lately?

I'd like you to answer that question. The majority of you will have to answer "no" and, well, I guess that's ok. It's ok if it's not going to stay that way.

But more important, I'd like you to consider asking that question to your friends, asking that question of people you'd like to have seen lately. What's the answer, and why?
Now, some people live far away, places like Milwaukee, Texas, San Diego, Casablanca and that's ok, I haven't been out to visit, even though I promised I would, I haven't sent letters or cards or gift packages, though I promised I would, I haven't called often, or at all, but I'm thinking of you often, all of you. That's why you haven't seen me lately, because I haven't stuck to the plan. Other people though, they don't live so far away, some other people, they just don't want to see me ever, it seems. I think about those people often too. I wonder why we haven't seen each other. Sometimes it prompts me to call them, say hi, sometimes I just contemplate our friendship, and the good times we used to have. I don't know why we don't have those good times anymore.

Anyway, that didn't turn out at all like I had expected, you can probably ignore it.

but don't ignore the recommended downlaods:

perhaps a word of friendly advice: why don't you talk to these people? nonspecific accusations and sulking won't get you anywhere. assert yourself!

NO, i have not seen you lately.

you never mention philadelphia when you mention places. amend that.

ps i am back in LJ action.

there's a reason I never mention philly, if I had, you wouldn't have commented ;)

You didn't mention Jersey either. Que pasa? Anyway I haven't seen you lately (nor have I read your blog recently, as is apparent by the fact I'm responding to this 4 days later; really it'd be much easier if you had LJ). So much for that, I'm gonna try to make it to Boston last weekend in January, I hear Donny's coming then to, maybe we can have a bit of a reunion, yeah?

Sad to say I just got back from a bowling tournament and decided to log in and do some websurfing. Tom I love your blog. I had some very good laughs. I am doing a paper on country wedding favors and have been downloading information for the last hour. I don’t know how I came across Have you seen me lately? but I am glad I did. It has set me back a little because I have spent the last hour reading your archives. If you don’t mind I would like to add you to my favorites so I can back again and read some more. Well I need to get back to country wedding favors. I am almost finished with it. Great job.
p.s some very good points on your blog
