Adult friendships

[sweetwater]

I begin to compose my thoughts for a reply to this thread, and on cue one of those "friend finder" commercials pops up on the tube. Clearly they are making a lot of money hooking up lonely people, but they never tempt me. Most of my friends are of the imaginary Internet sort, but they are quality friendships that transport across geography when we move, something we do often. I need input from intelligent, humorous, creative, and thoughtful people and they are not as readily found in real life - at least not by me. Mr. sweetwater makes pals wherever we go but we are still best friends with each other. It's good. I'd love to find a RL friend sometimes, but I'm happy enough.
