communication and information are hard to define sometimes. You're wondering about some old friends of yours, wondering if you'll be able to connect with them on your next trip out to their region of the country. You're thinking this... but what could truly be said about your information. The facts are you hardly ever talk but when you do its nice to see them again. Is their some rule of etiquette that tips us off when we've reached certain milestones in life w/r/t maintaing nebulous long-term relationships.

to my mind, it would be something like: "hey, we were pretty good friends once. we had some fun. i like those guys, let's look them up and see what they're up to.

perhaps its thechoice of medium... email... doesn't have the solidity (yet) as a phone call where you make the intent and emotional tenor of your conversation instanly available. email is easily ignored.

and then if the answer is "Yes" then we have the dynamics of two group decision-making teams.
