View all 47 ReflectionsMy pal EJ and I met when I worked at Sandy's Hotdogs 5000 years ago.
I was always reprimanded for giving him limitless chilidogs and his favourite hot fudge sundaes.
He spent a few Christmases with my family and my long since passed Nana absolutely ADORED him as his mischievous grin and quick humor was extraordinarily entertaining.
I used to think accumulated points on my license was the game objective. He made so many calls on my behalf and told me many times to behave or else.
We talked about anything from history to philosophy to cars and fashion.
We laughed a LOT.
He was my dear friend and I miss him loads.
STILL.
