My new best friends
For the best two months I've been recieving emails, almost daily, from my two new best friends Barack and Joe (no not the plumber). They've written to tell me about their days and the fun they've been having out on the road, even inviting me to join them sometimes. They've also asked for money, on quite a regular basis, which seems a bit presumptuous for friends I've known for only a short time.
Even so, I'm going to miss them on November 6th, when they stop writing as surely as new pen friends do after a few months. There'll be no more emails urging me to go speak to my neighbours, no more emails asking me to get in strangers cars and drive to Virginia, no more cheeky requests for cash... Hmmm maybe, I won't miss them that much...
