So my new thing this week has been getting back in touch. With old friends! So far, I've managed to locate 4: 1 in Brooklyn, 1 in Vermont, 1 in Turkey, and 1 in Texas. Spread all over! Other than my New York friends, some of these go back years, and in particular, my friend in Texas, we're talking two decades. That's some time!
I attribute google and facebook to these discoveries. While google searches can in fact help, without a picture to match to the mug, it's a pretty tricky thing to do. Certainly, the searching plus popularity gains of FB have made it the weapon of choice. But anyway, great!
UPDATE:
Make that 6 people. Got a hold of a former neighbor from OU who now lives in Tokyo of all places (he spoke no Japanese when he left Athens in 2003 but was clearly interested), and another friend in Cincinnati.
