HS Reunion
I've been talking to a bunch of friends I found on Facebook. The Class of 88 reunion was this weekend, and after looking at some of the pics posted, and talking to a few of them, I'm totally bummed I didn't go to mine last year.
Unfortunately, I was in Seattle on business when I got the notice. Heard it was pretty cool, but I haven't seen any of the pics, so it's not as real I guess. Looking at how all of these people I went to school with have all grown up, it's a little eerie. I guess you have this image stuck in your head of who looks like what, and then BOOM they all show up and it's totally different - and yet, it's pretty similar too.
Why is Facebook so popular? Because it lets us take a peek and get a quick update on how people are doing, and for some of us - what everyone looks like. I am not saying that I have aged flawlessly, but after seeing pics of friends over the last year of so from Facebook updates, and then taking a good hard look in the mirror, I realize just how much I have aged. I've seen a few people after long absences, and they tell me I look the same, but how much is true, and how much is being nice? 
I do have to say, looking at the pics today of the reunion, I'm amazed at how wonderful so many of them look. Funny thing is, they're all pretty much hanging out with the same people in little groups, some people being daring and venturing outside of their old groups.
I think i'll start working out now. I've got 4 years until my 25th reunion. Wow, maybe I am that old
