Way back when...

I finally got together with a friend from high school this morning for breakfast. We haven't seen each other in at least 10 years, so we had a lot of catching up to do. I guess I was a bit unsure about the visit, since the last time we spoke on the phone she was interested in going to the Prince concert. She tends to live a lot in the past, but our time together wasn't anything like that, thankfully. We caught up with where our families are, and how everything is going in our relational worlds. Actually, it was very nice...and I actually wouldn't mind seeing her again in the next year or so.

It's been 20 years since graduation...and I chose not to attend the official reunion last month. Interesting reasons behind it...but not here. I still keep in touch with a few people...okay, maybe 3-4...on a regular basis.

In response to Jeff's post, and Ashley's, I have to admit I was a bit curious...especially since this is a significant reunion year for me. This was also the year of USA for Africa, Miami Vice, the Breakfast club, and Back to the Future. Okay...here goes...just a few of my favorites way back when. Scary to think how many of these come right back to ya.
