I went to my High School reunion (20th) this past Saturday.
It was interesting, pleasant and, as such things ought to be, revealatory.
If it wasn't for the internet, I'd not have gone. Some time back (looking for people from my other high school, I joined Classmates. They sent me a message about the reunion. Truth be told, there were maybe half a dozen people (from a class of about 900) I was interested enough in seeing to spend the money. Five of them said they were attending.
So I went, three of them showed up.
And it was the two I most wanted to see.
Oddly, neither of them has changed, much. Physically, I knew them straight away. In terms of personality, both of them (which probably means all of us) seem happier than they were in school (hell, as Susan put it, she'd be hard pressed to be less happy).
