One day, chilling behind the counter at my liquor store job, two middle aged guys walked in all wobbly and flushed. Placed two 'light' tall cans by the till and had a short but cute fight over who was paying. Umprompted, told me all about how they started going to crossfit together and how great crossfit is and on Sundays they treat themselves to a couple beers to go with the high protein lunch they make together.

I saw them often after that, they were straight as hell, and the loveliest damn boys I'd ever seen. I loved hearing about how much fun they had at crossfit.

Finding a close friend after high school is rare, after college is even more rare .... after 30 is unicorn level rare.
