Friendships Should Last A Lifetime

I wrote a blog about friends the other day and that got me to thinking about some of my college roommates and those are usually your friends for life. They go through the college wars with you together, they help you stagger in from a hard night of..... studying, they see you the next morning when you have a bad headache from studying so much, and helps hide you out when a crazy girl comes after you with a gun. I remember this one..... study group... I was at and a disagreement about politics broke out (it was the Ronald Reagan era) and Dale comes charging down the steps to join the fray because he thought I was involved (he knew what a political activist I was). I was too loaded down..... with books.... to stop him but luckily one of our other friends did manage to slow him down and tell him it wasn't me. That is a true friend who would throw himself into a political discussion like that because he thought I was involved. I gave him a few of my ..... books.... and we studied and defended Ronald Reagan's "Trickle Down Economics" the rest of the night.
