I think I am just curious.<BR/><BR/>Also, my hair is still black, I don't have (many) wrinkles and I am still thin. Who knows if I will be able to say that in another 10 years.<BR/><BR/>But unfortunately, I will not be going. I just got the invitation and the idiots who are planning it did so on Thanksgiving wknd. That is the worst weekend. It is THE most heavily traveled time of the entire year. They should know from their address list that many of us moved far away and have established lives elsewhere. My sister and her family come down here for Thanksgiving each year, so there is no way I can be in Ohio!

The most amazing thing I found at my high school reunion was that people who were shy, awkward and clueless had blossomed since high school. That was extremely gratifying to see.<BR/>Ms. Boomer ChroniclesRheahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18073724825234532540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13873440.post-1155914135007323062006-08-18T08:15:00.000-07:002006-08-18T08:15:00.000-07:00jmk2006: email has changed everything in terms of ...jmk2006: email has changed everything in terms of communication.
