This evening I'm getting together with the first man I ever wrestled. (That experience is described in a post on 12/19/2006.) I happened to be coming to his town on business and got in touch with him. We talked on the telephone for a good while yesterday afternoon, and I think both of us are looking forward to it. We're eleven years older now, which will probably play into this new experience. He said that he'd had only one other wrestling experience in the time between January 1996 and now. I've had maybe 30, although I haven't stopped to count them.

We'll get together this afternoon after his workday, and we'll probably just swap hold, very low intensity. I expect there to be bear hugs and head scissors all over the room for an hour or so, and then I'll hit the road for home.
