Went to 40th high school class reunion last night

In Greencastle Indiana.

It is a small town. At this age much of the posturing is over with. A lot of talk of retiring and grandkids. About 25 classmates out of 173 attended. About 12 deceased including one who died in a swimming diving accident before we graduated.

Several folks who I did not recognize by appearance or name even after informed of the correct ones. I have got to remember to study my yearbook next time before attending.

One guy came from Australia to attend, one from seattle, one from new york, and some from lots of far away places.

Several folks openly admitted to being unemployed. One guy talked on and on about simplifying his life and doing a lot of meditating. (I leaned over to the Mrs and said "he's unemployed", I think).

Although Viagra was mentioned in passing, nobody openly admitted to using it.

A couple of gals came who have not come to any other reunions. At least one other person (besides me) has attended every one.

It was good clean fun. The Mrs. offered that I could go alone, and maybe next time I will instead of torturing her.

Still fun.
