I went and saw an old friend today. Jocelyn played for the Macon hockey team back in the late 90's when Lindy and I were working as photographers for the team. He became a good friend, but I had not seen him in years. The last time I saw Joce, his girlfriend had just had a baby and they were getting married. My how the years have gone by. He's now divorced and his daughter is five. Everyone I know is growing up an getting married (annd divorced) and having kids. It's odd... So anyway, after his divorce Jocelyn decided he needed a change and moved out here to California. He is the general manager of a skating complex in Panorama City which is like 10 miles from my apartment. So I decided to drop in and see him. He was floored. He looked great and is the same old Jocelyn that I remembered. He was very quick to tell me he is divorced now and picked right back up hitting on me, just like he always did. He's such a flirt. You gotta watch out for those French-Canadian hockey players. They think they are charming or something :) So we caught up and he told me I can come skate any time I want. It was really weird to see him out here; a puzzle piece from my past inserting itself into my new present. Not that I'm complaining, I always liked Joce and it might be fun to hang out with him again. If nothing else, at least I can get back on the ice. It's a good thing I had all my hockey equipment shipped out here. Time to get those skates sharpened, I guess. Hockey and surfing. What the fuck am I getting myself into out here?
