Today, my friend Cabral Instagrammed this old photo of us:

 Grade 9. Skiing with @keriblog. Jealous of her outfit. #tbt

3 Firsts:

1 – first time I’ve ever been attached to the #TBT hashtag (Throwback Thursday)

2 – first photo of me as a kid, that exists here

3 – first time I’ve introduced you to my oldest friend, Cabral.  He’s weirdly smart, with a ridiculous work ethic.

You probably already know him. Cabbie on TSN.  His Instagram bio:

Ambassador of fun. Poster child for idiots. Pro athletes wish they could punch me in the face, but I’m always with a camera. I love food.

The ‘Cabbie Presents on TSN: Best of 2013’

Ahh Cab, so many big names in there, so well edited & produced, 3 million views on YouTube, so proud of you! I re-wound 3:39 over and over!

We grew up together grades 7-13, took math, competed against each other on the grade 8 speech competition circuit, stuff like that. He’s been quietly blogged around here for years, an arm in a car, a pic of a pic, a blurry birthday party pic.

Woah while linking stuff up, I just saw his new website for the first time, because I am a bad friend, but kk here: CabralRichards.com. It’s so minimal, the most minimal. Best site I’ve seen in forever.
