My Buddy Mack

Mack being cool.
Dr Mack Gift is coming over to my office today. You might remember Mack as the Director of the Utah Mental Health Association. He is also my buddy. This guy is too cool for words. Mack was part of the beat culture in Ogden and Salt Lake back in the fifties—yeah, there really was beat culture here. The dude has a number of poetry books out and is still involved teaching at the University level. He does not have a personal website but should as a vehicle to spread his poetic word about.
Mack let me do the MHAU website. He is one of those guys who really believe in the little guy, the under dog –you know, people like me. Mack is supposed to drop by the office today to borrow my digital camera for some items he wants to place on the Association website. I cannot believe he has not purchased a better digital by now and continues to borrow mine. But, I do not mind, it forces us to be together. Well, scratch that, Lissa his associate just dropped by to pick up the camera. Oh, I’ll just have to try harder to keep to keep the contact fresh.
Keeping the contacts fresh! You think this would be easy with friend and even family, especially nowadays with cell phone, unlimited messages, instant messaging and web cams and broad band connections but still if I do not work at contacting folks I will go months if not years without communicating with some folks—folks I should be communicating at least weekly if not daily. There is no excuse except life tends to get in the way...
