Out of the loop

Now that our post-Ike lives are starting to calm, I started realizing that we have fallen out of touch with quite a few good friends. I feel so bad that so many important and exciting things have happened to our friends and we don't find out about it for weeks, if not longer. On the flip side, we don't really keep our friends abreast of what is happening to us here in Texas. Is it out of sight, out of mind? I'm not sure. I am making a goal to get back in touch with these people, the people that really do mean a lot to us. Especially since most of the friends we actually see seem to be pilots, and my brain switches off when Keith starts talking shop with them.
