50 Year High School Reunion
Just got my invitation for the 50 year High School Reunion. 50 years ago I was sweating acceptance to college and dreaming of getting out of our backwater small town (or at least that is how it seemed to me at the time). Looking back it was the classic American high school experience (think of the innocence of American Graffiti and you can imagine Lee’s Summit Missouri at the peak of the 50’s. It’s still got a lot of the same character even though it is now a highly considered suburb of Kansas City with not one, but at least three (and maybe now four) high schools in the district all imaginatively named Lee’s Summit North, South, etc. My parents and brothers are dead so there is not much to visit for except the cemetary but I have managed to attend the last two reunions and hope to attend this one.
Best a geezer than the alternative…:)
You mean aging like Cary Grant?
Waoh Ralph,
I can’t wait to her about the reunion.
Long lost friends, Ex-lovers, funny mischevious pranks brought back to life etc
Cheers and i’m sure you’d have fun

Actually,
I didn’t get to go. My boss at the time is an asshole and refused my vacation request – at the last minute. One of the reasons I decided to retire and set my own course.
Yep, you’re a geezer. But an outrageous geezer. And hopefully like me, one who embraces geezer-hood totally.
I love being a geezer, especially them senior discounts. My buddies are geezers and we get together and do geezer type of stuff. Great fun, and no expectations to live up too; kinda like being twelve again.

Hansi,
Might as well love it. The alternative is pretty crappy.
