McGill-Toolen High School Reunion!!...oh the memories...huh?

So its that time. After the semester wraps up, grades delivered and caps and gowns put away and after a little respite and lab prep, I'm off to my 30th high school reunion. Yes 30 years! Some of those faces I haven't seen in 28 years and well, more than a few I probably won't recognize.

Why do we subject ourselves to this? Few were real friends then so are now even more distant. Much of the hatred and love has been forgotten...what am I saying...I'm a dude...the love rarely is forgotten.

They say some memories are best to remain memories (remember Walken's line in "Click"). Never-the-less, presumably we've aged and have learned to be civil either voluntarily or as a consequence of living over the last 30 years. Two days sober or drunk among strangers who are all linked to the past. This was Mobile Al in the 70's. I am now in the middle of a desegregation order in Jefferson Parish and its 2008! Imagine the climate in Mobile before 1978. We survived...to become what? We shall see.

Oh, me...I haven't changed much. A little less hair, a little less trusting but looking forward to reminiscing. I know the music will be great!
