Unlabor Day
I was going to do quite a number of things this weekend, but little seems to have come of it. In particular, I was going to continue the write-up of my vacation, but haven't had the oomph to gather all my notes and write. In lieu of that, a bit more about the micro-reunion.
1) At one point, some one asked a question requiring thought. I cupped my chin in my right hand to consider my reply; some one laughed and said, "You've been making that gesture since high school"....
2) Towards the end, the topic of high school dates came up - who dated whom, and how many. Some numbers and facts emerged that, to me, were somewhere between startling and sheerly discombobulating. (No, I'm not going to give details here....)
3) JP, who hosted the get-together, is a musician; as we were breaking up, he pulled out a box and handed each of us a couple of his group's CDs. He's the same vigorous extrovert I remember him as being....
4) NM, who in my memory was one of the least athletic of our (not exactly jockish) circle, turns out to have become a competitive ice-skater - when he moved back to SD from the east coast a few years ago, he made a point of making sure there were rinks he could easily access.
There were many other notable bits; I wish I'd written down notes immediately after the event. Too many memories from Spokane intervened, sadly. Still, I do remember it as being a blast.
