Have no desire to. Thanks to Facebook, anyone worth keeping up with we've already kept up with. Plus, seeing some of our classmates look like they're old enough to be our dads is depressing. We definitely look younger than our age. That joke you posted reminded me of one time I went out to lunch with some coworkers. Two of them ran to the bar to order some drinks, and that left this female coworker and myself as the only ones sitting at the table. The server that came by saw us and exclaimed to me, "Awww, it's so nice that you took your mom out to lunch!" My coworker looked horrified, but didn't say anything.<br /><br />Yeah, that coworker was only 2 years older than I was.<br /><br />Also, we both just wanted to say thank you for that killer review! Not just because you liked it, but because it was so well thought out and completely honest ...Well, except for the last part. Ahmad is clearly NOT a terrorist. :)<br /><br />(Oh, and thank you for introducing "old fartessa" into our collective vocabulary)A Beer for the Showerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17029139745335325356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6034142332858737641.post-46667707052430893722016-06-12T18:12:58.393-04:002016-06-12T18:12:58.393-04:00Thanks, kiddo.

LOL. <br /><br />I've been to most of my class reunions. I only live twenty minutes from my alma mater and since we were a small school, it's more like a family reunion. Much less pressure in small town life.

Out of four hundred some students, I was ranked thirty-second at graduation (which I did not attend). I've always wondered what I would have been ranked if I'd bothered to go to school regularly. I might have been the valedictorian!Janie Junebughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10573607241326291404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6034142332858737641.post-14010770219750382522016-06-11T12:31:47.746-04:002016-06-11T12:31:47.746-04:00Yay!
