lonely and desperate

Settling into the booth in a casual steakhouse restaurant, they order drinks. Eating and drinking were not the main reason for this gathering of old friends though. They wanted to catch up on what each had been doing for the last ten years.

It had been ten years since graduation from their small-town high school and they had traveled back for the reunion. They had all planned this dinner to catch up on their individual paths in life. Tomorrow night at the reunion, it would be too hectic and filled with activities for a focused conversation.

The sports-enthusiast in the trio was Ted. He had played football, basketball and baseball for the school. He was chatting about the day he saved the game by running the football over the finish line just as the buzzer sounded. His basketball expertise had provided similar exciting moments.

All the girls had wanted to go out with Tony. He and his date were elected prom king and queen senior year. He always teased Ted about the fact that he dated more cheerleaders even though Ted was the big football hero. Ted wasn’t concerned since he had enough girlfriends of his own.

Tim was an easygoing guy who hung out with his friends and enjoyed whatever activity was planned. He wanted to reminisce about those summer days when they all rode their diamondback bikes along the track that led to the swimming pool. After competing with each other for the best exhibition diving of the day, they laughed and talked all the way back home.

Yes, the three Ts, as they were referred to by everyone, were back together if only for a weekend. All divorced now, they spent a little time tearing down their ex-wives. Tony said Jeana had tried to cut up his clothes with a knife set someone gave them for a wedding gift.

Tim and Ted told similar sad, but less drastic anecdotes about how their wives reacted during their divorces. Tim was the only one who actually missed his ex-wife. She hadn’t been at fault for the divorce. Tim had cheated on her with some bimbo from work.

But, that was awhile ago. Tonight, all three men hoped to meet some old friends of the female variety and maybe hook up. After all, none of them wore those confining men wedding bands any longer. They wondered out loud who was fat and who was bald. They tried to figure out who might have ended up married to each other. The downed their second drinks and turned to the menu to order steak dinners.
