I think we can be a little too hard on ourselves when it comes to friendships and staying connected. If we can be cool and in good faith with ourselves in the times we don't talk, then that's alright. We'll catch up whenever we can.

And just like you, too, I address people accordingly. I most certainly wouldn't call someone my friend if they really aren't.

You're a good man, Sir George. And you're loyal, humble, and kind.
