20 Yr Reunion Pictures at Ricardos
"It is indeed ironic that we spend our school days yearning to graduate and our remaining days waxing nostalgic about our school days." - Isabel Waxman
20 yr Reunion Picnic At the City Park

- Hours of enjoyment with a $4 Frisbee – Hours of frustration with a $900 set of golf clubs
- Progressive politics – Progressive bifocals
- Getting high – Getting high blood pressure
- Beer kegs that flowed to the max – Bladders in desperate need of FLOMAX
- Lying to our parents about what we did in high school – Lying to our children about what we did in high school
- Starting Saturday night at 10 p.m. – Concluding Saturday night at 10 p.m.
- Studying ancient history – Remembering ancient history
- Thinking people in their 30s were old timers – Thinking people in their 30s are young pups
- Hundreds of vinyl albums stored in a heavy wooden crate – Hundreds of digital albums stored in a 2-ounce iPod
- Hoping we wouldn’t have to move back in with our parents – Hoping our kids won’t move back in with us
- Wishing our parents would leave us alone – Wishing our kids would call once in a while
- Deciding where to live – Deciding where to be buried
- Trying to discover the meaning of life – Trying to discover the meaning of death
- Focused on finding happiness – Realizing happiness comes when we stop focusing on it
- Thinking people in their 50s were ancient fossils – Knowing people in their 50s are just hitting their prime
Well, at least that's our story and we're sticking to it . . .
We all took different paths....
But every dirt road we've walked will lead us back to the friends that know us best.
The ones that will help you up and slap the dust off, without being asked".
