Three's a crowd in any situation...

Does not matter how old you are...being the odd man out hurts. What gives it an extra special sting is being the outsider for two people who have known each other for 5 minutes. But I have it on good authority that my perception on this one is not actually impaired. What a relief.

It is strange how even as an adult, in my mid-life if the average age adult males in my family is to be believed, that you still feel the same insecurities and angst you did as a child. Unfortunately, as you get older though, the pain that comes with those feelings grows in proportion to your age. What a crock.

So here is to childhood problems never going away, just getting bigger and more painful with age. What a life.
