Old friends or new friends?

As a Cancerian I am known to hold on to the past. So while planning my trip to Asia I was thinking about "old" friends first. Isn't it much nicer to meet old friends instead of having to hunt for new? Today I received an e-mail from one of my Thai friends who wrote: "Am I now not too old for you and shouldn't you be meeting cuter guys here?" No, my dear CW, I know I am going to have much more fun with you driving around in your Beetle, admiring your garden, having a shower on the roof terrace of your house. All so much better than taking a younger man to my hotel room, having to worry about my money and valuables, and facing the question if I have some money "for the taxi". I'd rather grow old with my friends.
