         <description>&lt;p&gt;I went out for coffee tonight with an old friend I haven&amp;#39;t seen in 2 years.&amp;nbsp; He&amp;#39;s in town, but I&amp;#39;ve always blown off his phone calls.&amp;nbsp; This makes me sound like a horrible person.&amp;nbsp; I&amp;#39;m the only &amp;#39;friend&amp;#39; he has here in town (he&amp;#39;s originally from Texas), he says.&amp;nbsp; I feel bad, but every time we do get together, we talk about the same stuff all the time and it gets tiring.&amp;nbsp; Tonight wasn&amp;#39;t too bad, though.&amp;nbsp; He&amp;#39;s a very nervous/an ...</description>
