Does the fact that I have an old friend in town make me old?

My friend calls me up and says that she's back in town for the weekend visiting. After I see her I probably won't see her again for months. Crap. I remember the days, well the first 21 years of my life-days, when this was a rare situation. Now this situation I would expect to be commonplace more and more as time goes on.

Now what to do about this? Keep in touch somehow. I know for a fact that my keep-in-touch skills could use some work... perhaps this could be my new year's resolution. More time online, more phone calls, more emails. And visits. It's a plan.
