    My best friends names were Jack and Fran. They have both passed away since hurricane Katrina. Finding Y'all has helped me. I have been very alone and missed my friends greatly but finding y'all has filled a void thank you. Plus it's giving me insight knowing I have to go find some adventures in life . I'm a bit old for what y'all are doing but I can still get out and explore. Thanks for the inspiration.
