Since I did not have any plans for the immediate future, I accepted their invitation and agreed to join them that evening. I received a phone call from Matt asking if I would like to join him and Todd for a drink at a local bar. We weren't close friends but I do remember some good times we had experienced together. After college, I hooked up with a few casual friends from my university days. This will be explained later in the story. You must be curious as to the word 'was'.
