My Reunion
We just got back from the night club social and icebreaker for the reunion. We arrived two hours late, which is more than fashionably late, but as Kristin remarked, "By this point people will be so smashed up you'll be able to make a great impression."
Angie came all the way from California, Tony from England, and apparently Maddie will be here tomorrow. Elek showed up from his hermitage in Russia, and has apparentlky been devouring our web site from end to end. It was good to see them and all my other friends, but some were still among the missing (Matt Midboe? Ivan Illan? Suzanne Johnson? Joyce Ou? Stand up and be recognized!). I got a bit of an awkward moment when Ryan told me that Emily, my girlfriend throughout high school was looking for me. She did eventually catch up to us, met my wife, and introduced us to her husband. I couldn't help getting the feeling that she kept aiming barbs my way through the conversation, especially about me marrying 'above my station' (ironically, we had just seen a Newlywed Game rerun earlier where the wives were talking about the same thing).
