Mandy's 10-Year High School Reunion


We had a good weekend in White Oak, seeing family, going to the reunion, playing Halo 3 until the wee hours of the morning (thanks again, David). I also know that everyone was excited to see what a little butterball Jackson is becoming. There was no shortage of offers to baby-sit while we went to the reunion on Saturday night.

Its always interesting to see what people have done with their lives in the 10 years after high school. Some were very successful and productive, others not so much. The funny thing is that I didn't even go to high school with these folks and I could still pick out the goofballs and jerks after 10 years. Some things never change. It was a fun evening, and I know Mandy enjoyed catching up with old friends. I spent most of the evening talking to Glauco and Aaron, which was fine by me--we almost solved all the world's problems in one evening.

I have to experience this vicariously through Mandy because I doubt Kaiserslautern American High School (ahh, beloved K-town) will ever be able to successfully put together a reunion--given that we are all over the world now. Some folks tried to put together a cruise/reunion this summer, but it just didn't work out.
