Yes, I can't go out to dinner with them more than once or twice a year but that doesn't make them not my bestest friends.

Gee, I didn't know there were these teleophone things... Sheesh.
I talk to childhood friends quite often. I just tend to be closer with, have more in common with and have more to talk about with people I actually can see once in a while. Present company excepted, of course.
The whole "So and so got married, had a kid, moved back to town, divorced, such and such teacher retired, some building was torn down" stuff gets old after a while.
Let's put it this way... one of the famous former residents of my hometown memorialized it in song, and not in a flattering way. I tend to agree. It's pretty much a dead end place.
