Last weekend I was out with some buddies, drinking and carrying on. One of the guys I was out with has been a buddy for 10+ years. He's a bit of a lefty but we get a long fine. He was chatting with another one of our friends and I wasn't really paying attention to their conversation. He looks at me, his demeanor changes to his best threatening look and he says: "at least I'm not a baby killer"
I couldn't believe it, I was completely dumbfounded. Normally I'm a smart ass but I couldn't think of anything to say. I "remembered" suddenly that I needed to be somewhere and bailed.
For context, this is one of the guys I went fishing with for years, our kids play together. This is the guy I call to go to Montreal for debauchery weekends.
When it's just some hippy at the corner store or some knob on the street, it's easy. It's been a week, we haven't spoken and it still makes me really mad, hurt and a little sad that I may have lost a friend. And then on the side, there are all the things I wished I had the presence of mind to have said.
Anyways, not sure why I'm posting this. Maybe it'll be therapeutic.
(On a side note - as soon as I left the bar, I ran into some guys from the unit and had a crazy-fun night nonetheless)
