For what it's worth

Spending time with your friends of the past can bring some pleasant memories. The funny thing is, the farther removed you are from the event, the better the stories get. Why is that? Probably because no one who was there can rebuff your story and it's authenticity. You should have heard us; one of the brothers talked about an intramural basketball game that ended well because we won. However, the way we won was a little distorted. How do I know, I was there. The lead scorer for our team made 13 shots in the game. In non-professional basketball, that is a pretty good feat. It took him 38-39 shots to get there (He was quite the ball-hog) but hey, it was a sight for all to witness. By the time he told the story to us, he made 13 shots in a row and ended the game with 42 shots made. The story was funny and full of lies as I sat back laughing until tears ran down my face. But, the chance of hanging with the brothers of Phi Beta Sigma (Pi Delta chapter, Chico State) was simply FUN. I'm looking forward our next gathering. And for what it's worth, you do what you gotta do to make the friendships last. Let your people be themselves (even when they exaggerate a story) and you love them to the fullest.
