Quote: I don't really want to say I've been busy, because that will be all the more reason not to call.
but more of a way to maybe get him to open up and come back with "Busy with what?" Maybe something more like "Been a lot of interesting things going on here lately" or something to pique his interest and get him going with more communication. The stuff you post here is interesting enough to have a conversation with. Try not to fall into the old routine of giving him an excuse for not calling. Good luck with what ever you decide. RonJon
