So Cody wrote me on MS and asked if I was going to be at the reunion. In addition to responding to him, I thought I'd lay it out on the table for all of my 99ers.
"Cody
You know, I intended to be there all along but Uncle Sam gave me military orders to report to the Pacific Northwest and I leave on June 9th. My heart will be there and I hope that the website stays up. I'm super-pissed that I won't get to see many of you (you're one of them, Buddah). I'd also like to say that I'm proud of you for putting the time and effort into this whole thing. You know it was the class president's job to do this but you took the initiative to do it and that is nothing less than commendable. I hope we can do it again - in say 10-15 years. Sadly, I'm sure I'll have less hair and I won't be in as of good shape, etc. At the same time, most of you will be in the same boat... suckers. No matter what our relationship growing up we're all a part of each other’s lives in some way or another. I wish you all the best and I'm proud to have shared those crazy last years of the second millennium with you.
My words of advice: Ditch the MTV - Hollywood - reality TV BS and pay attention to who is actually making the decisions that affect your lives and the lives of your kids. You'll find its way more entertaining anyway.
