Some of you may remember that about a month ago, I posted that I had done an internet search of my cousins&#39;s name and also included the word &quot;karate&quot; beside his name, and got several hits that I thought could be him.  One of them was a list of the board of directors of a karate association, so I emailed the webmaster and asked him if he could pass my contact info along. He replied with a pic of the man who was associated with them and even though I had not seen him in over 20 yrs., I knew it was him.  We were quite close when I was much younger and I even attended his karate school for a bit when I was a teenager, but life happens and we grew apart and lost touch.  Anyway, the webmaster told me that he was not directly in touch with my cousin but would pass my email along to people who were.  I did not hear from Bill, so assumed that he had made the choice to not get in touch with me.  Today, when Scotty and me got back from shopping, I checked my messages and I had 2 from him.  He said that he had just gotten the message last night at the board meeting and really wanted to call me then but it was too late and he planned to wait until this evening because he didn&#39;t know if I worked or not but was too excited so asked me to call him when I got home.  Then he called right back and left another message that he hadn&#39;t left his number and didn&#39;t know if we had caller ID so wanted to make sure I had it.  I called him back and we talked for about 30 minutes, just catching up and I plan to call him so we can get together the next time we are in Tulsa.  Most of my father&#39;s side of the family stopped having much to do with us once my father passed away when I was in my teens and as I had no contact with them, I was afraid that I would not be able to find him and was so happy to hear from him.  We vowed to not lose touch again, but you know how that usually turns out.  Anyway, it made for a very nice surprise.  He even said that he would like to come out and visit sometime.  Well, I gotta&#39; go do all those &quot;nightime geting ready for bed rituals&quot;, just wanted to pop in.
