Last night was the kickoff for my 20-year high school reunion weekend. We started the party at a Nyack High School football game (where they won 45-0). It was really funny as the crowd started gathering and strangers were all staring at each other to try to figure out if we were there for the same reason. Reminder for next time when planning a large meeting event for people who haven't seen each other in 20 years: have a specific pre-determined meeting place.
At the game, a girl named Laurie noted that if people were all this friendly to each other in high school, it would have made life so much better. How true. Now, twenty years later I am hanging out with, drinking with, flirting with people I didn't dare speak to in high school.
After the game I dropped Teddy off at his grandparents house, then walked in to town to start drinking. We ended up at Black Bear (a new, trendy bar) because it was big enough for the 30 or so of us who showed up. It was really great to see people and catch up after so long. I didn't drink much because the real party (with an open bar) is tonight. Over 80 people are expected.
