It is more than a little creepy to wake up realizing you had a dream about a fellow Pelican.

I received a postcard in the mail that said they were compiling a directory of the high school alumni for the school where I graduated. They mailed it to my house at the proper address. The knew my work phone number. I called and asked who else will get the information and she promised only the people thay buy the directory. And then the sales pitch starts. I can get a hard bound version for two easy payments of $49.99 each. One C note to get a directory of people that went to the same school that I did. Really. I only knew them for two years and none were good friends. I have not talked to any of them at all since my 5 year reunion. I will pass on that.

Don't blame you. My 30th is this year not going. Went to the 25th and I think I told the story about how that ended with the 911 at full roar at 4:30 am leaving....

I did the full 12 years (kindergarten was elsewhere) with most of the people I graduated with, and I wouldn't pay more than a couple $$ for that information....sorry, just don't care.

HS Reunion? Meh. On the other hand, it's about time to be reunited with the weekend.

Now that I can agree on!

It is supposed to be 90 tomorrow. Finally warm enough to double check the pressures on the 911 AC system. It is almost scary that after this weekend I have just next weekend to get everything ready for the road trip on the 20th. I want COLD air fer sure.

What's high school?
Oh wait......that's the place I had to walk to barefoot through 3 feet of snow, up hill......it's all coming back to me now. That was 43 years ago.......why would I want to hang out with a bunch of old guys?

My tolerance increases directly in correlation to the hotness of the mother.

But. Yeah, 30 min is about my max

Sid, you're getting older all the time. Sorry.

I like my own kids fine but a group of them would make me do things to people that makes Abu Ghraib look like a Disney Cruise. Wait, bad example, that might be worse than what actually happened. Like a "Happy Ending" parlor maybe.
