40 Years!???
| Posted at 09:56 AM on April 26, 2009 |
Attended my 40th class reunion last night at the Lazy Dog in Kaukauna (BTW you gotta check this place out. It's really nice). After attending the 35th I noticed a lot of "new" faces that I'd not seen then. Conversely some from the 35th weren't there. Must be a 'your turn' thing. Though I didn't get to talk with a lot of my classmates it was great just to see them. I must say I recognized more of the ladies than I did the guys. For some reason the ladies seem to hold on to that youth quality that makes them recognizeable to friends at any age. The guys, well we seem to lack something in our genetic footprint that retains any semblance of our hey days. Must be due to marriage or something (just shitting, ladies).
Anyway I noticed last night that some social situations never change even since "skool daze". Subconsciously I think we all displayed the same patterns we held in high school. We had our particular friends/groups and that was our life. As the night wore on those subtle patterns soon began to emerge. Certain people gravitated towards each other sometimes leaving their significant other or classmate to fend for themselves. I'm sure it wasn't intentional but deep seated habits are a bitch to break.
To those who chose not to attend (not those who live way outside the area) for whatever reason not a problem Chances are someone last night noticed this and made a remark reflecting your absence and possibly added a reason of their own. Also chances are most people ignored it. That'll teach ya.
Then there are our classmates who have preceeded us in life's ultimate punch line. To John, Sharon, Tom, Lenny and others I probably don't have knowledge about, we will always remember you fondly. You will always be stuck in 1969 in our memories, Your laugh, mannerisms and everything that made you an individual will be forever etched in our hearts.
If any classmates by some strange chance get over to this minute speck of the web and read this blog, thank you for at least being curious.
