Sadly, that's
it. Yes, as abrubtly as our friendship had begun, it ended. I'm
told that sometimes life is like that -- people just drift apart and there's
nothing really to be done about it. Perhaps that's what happened between
Vlad and me. Oh, I tried emailing him a few weeks ago telling him that I
had just gotten out of the joint and was ready to start anew.
Undoubtedly, Vlad sensed the insincerity in my tone and understandably ignored
me. Oh, well . . . we'll always have Black Oak Arkansas.
