I love the show GLEE, (FOX) each week brings the trials and tribulations of the hot and the not set to music. The pilot featured songs from the 80's so I was hooked from the start.
My class reunion is this fall. The Hubs would rather have root canals without Novocain than attend his own class reunion. Because he is a wonderful guy he has offered to go with me to mine but I let him off the hook. He doesn't know these people and would be bored to death. You see the Hubs and SHREK are a lot alike all he wants is for everyone to "stay out of his swamp" so why put the guy through my class reunion. (Luckily for me and Callie - we have lifetime passes to the swamp.)
Maybe the reason people shy away from reunions is that they don't want to have to be the person they were in high school. Who does? Hell I didn't know anything and was afraid of everything. I had low self-esteem and kept to myself a lot. I never went to a homecoming dance, prom, or even had a boy friend. I was editor of the school paper and marched in the band. The nice girl with such a pretty face.
That was then, This is now and NOW I am a 40 something rip roaring my way into becoming 50 something. I figure as long as I am not dead, in jail or "on the lamb" I have something to celebrate. I am really looking forward to my class reunion, I am on the reunion committee and am excited for every new email address we get in. I am excited to spend time with the men and women from all walks of life and all corners of the country who trudged the halls, marched on the field, and sat in the classrooms with me back in "Scotts-Vegas" circa 1977-1981.
Think back to high school and how much you have grown, overcome, accomplished, and changed to become the person reading this blog today. Congratulations! Take a moment to celebrate, you deserve it! And if you are like me and have a class reunion this fall enjoy it...it's kind of like GLEE (in a good way) but with old people who happen to ROCK!

This blog was started when I thought I should be a writer. I no longer think that so this blog is just my little page of thoughts, photos, and the occasional painting.
I love your perspective on the class reunion stuff. I knew a Dee in high school way back when, I look forward to meeting the mature Dee this fall. I have always been on the inside of the reunions because I never left Scottsboro (except for a brief stint in Auburn). I always look forward to hearing tales from the real world. Pass along to "hubs" that I regret not having the opportunity to meet :) Take care and see ya soon. Ken Vickers
