All it takes is a little imagination.
Proof that friendships transcend even geography:
Was twittering with my friend Todd in Seattle (who goes by ElwoodJBlues online) recently, and this is how the conversation went:
Me: Elwood!!!! (hi)
Todd: Melissa! Hiii! You spiked your coffee today, didn’t you?
Me: haha no, but good idea … 😀
Then our friend JessAnn, who lives in Pennsylvania, weighs in:
JessAnn: I thought @melissaoyler always spiked her coffee
Me: how did you know I spike my coffee? Damn, web cam failed me again!! 😉
Todd: I take my coffee straight, no chaser. When I do add to it, it’s always Bailey’s.
JessAnn: I can’t mix my alcohol and my coffee. It’s one or the other with me.
Todd: After sending this photo: This is a good coffee/alcohol combo.
Me: open one for me?
Me: thanks. that hits the spot.
Me: After seeing this photo: Nice! Now if only you could send it …
JessAnn: I’m sure @elwoodjblues would be happy to send you the empty bottle lol
Todd: HAHA! Totally.
Me: yum!! Send it on! 😉
And he did. All the way from Seattle. I even got to see the package en route – wrapped up, in the car, at the post office. And now – in Charlotte!
