Twenty years! That’s the only phrase I could think for the first five minutes that I spent with Eric Hubble on January 27, 2007.

He was older than me, being in first grade. After chatting it up one day, he invited me over to his house and I accepted. He was dropped off before me, so I knew right where his house was. It was just up the street on Birchall, a short bike ride from home.
