Everything Old is New Again...

Man, am I old. If years can be long and fast at the same time, well then they are. How's that for some infinite wisdom? My 10 year reunion was this past weekened, and while it seems like I just graduated from High School yesterday, I suppose a lot has happened in the meantime. Its funny how you go to a reunion not knowing what to expect from everyone there, but somehow after a few hours, you realize that in a way, everyone is still pretty much the same way they were way back when. Now they just have kids and are married. :) For the most part, I think the ol' classmates haven't changed much at all in appearence. There were some exceptions of course. I was thinking about taking an anonymous poll by email to find out who everyone thought was most changed. I was wondering about this after the reunion, and then Rachel asked me who I thought had changed the most, not in appearence, but in personality. That was a much tougher question. I guess its hard to make that kind of a call after only hanging out for a little while. You can check out all of the pictures I took at the reunion or all of the pictures I've taken in the past couple of years.

I think everyone had a pretty good time at the reunion. There were a lot of people that I got to catch up with, and a lot that I would have liked to talked to, but didn't get a chance. At first it seemed as if the whole class was there, but then the room began to shrink as the night went on. The final word I got from Carl was 172 alumni were there, so I guess that was a bit under half. There were definately a few people I was looking forward to seeing that just weren't there. The biggest complaint I heard was the Open bar was only open if you had cash. Maybe if it were in Wisconsin, then things would be different.

Got something you wanna say? Email me.. and I promise I'll start doing better at returning them. I'd also be interested in getting some copies of pictures from the reunion if you'd like to have them posted on the web. And remember to check back here if you want to see what I'm up to.
Housekeeping.. You like bed turn down?

So its been an even longer time since I've updated. What can I say.. I've been a busy man. The summertime comes and I'm off like a wedding dress heading to places like Cleveland to take in an Indians game and the annual Cedar Point trip. Then its Off to Wisconsin, where the beer flows like water. People are always talkin bout bein New Style.. well I'm still kickin it Old Style.. and lovin it.. Those girls know how to party! :) Hanging out with the In-laws is always a great time. I still haven't been to Louisiana lately, but I do dig their new Quarter. And I almost forgot the Buffett trip that kicked on the whole summer's festivities! So while it may seem like I'm having a kickass time traveling the midwest, just remember, I'm still a big geek at heart.
