Blast from the Past

My oldest friend, Jon Warr, was up from D.C. for a visit this weekend with his kids Greta and Vince.  Looking back Jon and I were only neighbors for about 5 to 6 years (grades 1 through 5), but most of my "childhood" memories are either at his house or at mine playing endless legos, soldiers, magic (yes, magic), bikes, you name it.  He is one of those friends who you can pick up right where you left off even if you havent seen him in years.  So it was pretty special for me to see our children meet and play and get along as if no time had passed between us.
