Then & Now

Because we have a bunch'o lame asses in our class, Lakeview High class of '95 was not able to hold a 10-year reunion. Instead, we just had a small, informal gathering at Ball Joint Sports Bar on Friday. They're usually called mixers, but really the most mixing going on was at the bar.

Of those who showed up, mostly everyone hung out with their same friends and grouped up with the same people they hung around during school.

But, it was fun. I wish more classmates would have shown up. I'm still surprised that we had such a low turnout, and I know there's lot of people still in the area.

Oh, well. Kim and I had a good time hanging out and chatting it up with some old friends.

Hopefully, we can have a 20-year reunion. Kim told me she nominates moi for organizing a 15-year get together with dinner and everything. It would be nice, but I don't even think people will want to do it then.

Hey, thanks for the linkage. You're always welcome at my place.

Sorry to hear about your ring woes. I bought my wife's ring from the shadiest looking place in Chicago and...well, there were a whole lot of weird things about the process that I'll have to write about some day. Suffice it to say, I ended up thinking I'd been sold a piece of glass. The way my luck usually runs, that is what SHOULD have happened.

But we had it appraised a few months later by a friend of the family (who is a jeweler) and it turns out I got a pretty good deal after all. It's SO unlike me.

Maybe we got each other's luck by mistake?
