We had played each other on the song guessing app for six years, ever since we were matched up when I visited Iceland in 2016; we both liked Classic Rock and stuck to 70s playlists
For a few weeks this year (2022) I was
"out of sorts" and didn't log in; when
I next opened the app
I saw Haraldur had terminated our six-year
rivalry
I mean, I led him by 520 to 186 games,
he was a bit slow,
but I valued our unspoken international alliance
It stung for a while but my
main concern was that my wife,
whenever I played the game,
always asked me how 'your friend Olaf' was doing
And now I just can't admit that he's
no longer my friend
I am 55 years old
