July 8, 201214 yr comment_524758 A long but wonderful weekend. Mentioned the Friday night affair, Saturday with my friend Steve was fun, relived old times music shopping. Got a bunch of older stuff that I didn't have copies of, as well as a couple new things from Loreena McKennitt and PiL. Last night's reunion was amazing! Our class (1982) always seems to have great turnouts, and there were folks at the 30th who I haven't seen since either the 5th, or even since HS. Lots of laughs, lots of hugs, one "I love you" (!), and just a damned good time, despite having to drink Jim Beam. A little tired today, sent off Steve to his next adventure, and then brought my son up to his overnight camp where he's spend the next 2 weeks. Time to rest, read, and then BBQ...... Report
July 8, 201214 yr comment_524766 Good luck with that, Al. You're kind to help but that is a sacrifice for sure. Report
July 8, 201214 yr comment_524785 Drove home from the in-laws. Both my wife and I are exhausted, but our daughter is running around full of energy. Hopefully, she goes to sleep without much issue. Report
July 8, 201214 yr comment_524786 A warm bath and a prophylactic dose of Benadryl should do the trick. Running around breathing in all that pollen makes for an allergic evening. Report
July 9, 201214 yr comment_524829 No need for a dose of Benadryl. She went to sleep very nicely. Now here's hoping that I'll actually get a nice night of sleep tonight after not being able to do so for the last three nights for unknown reasons. Report

July 9, 201214 yr comment_524930 Last night's reunion was amazing! Our class (1982) always seems to have great turnouts, and there were folks at the 30th who I haven't seen since either the 5th, or even since HS. I went to Lauren's 10th reunion Saturday night. The total turn-out was 13 (9 class members, 4 significant others), out of a class > 140 people. Pretty pathetic considering there were 20 definites and 30 maybes, and about half the class lives within a half hour of their home town. Not that I can say much... I haven't been to any of mine, either. And I burned 25,000 Hilton points for the hotel room. I don't know if I should be mad I used the points for that, or happy it didn't cost me any money! Report
July 9, 201214 yr comment_524955 Went to work in a sunken daze. Felt cold and capable of tears at any second, sypmtoms still active now that I've returned home. Hell in a thousand verses each day taunts, life is meaningless without someone to walk alongside me. But I'm a borderline sociopath, and I can only love she who holds such kindred terrors. Everythigng and everyone else equals nothing. Edited July 9, 201214 yr by Kirosia Report

We were talking about Your good looks. But I did not get that. maybe you should just ask A.L.I.C.E. Let us know when you pass the Turing Test. Report

July 10, 201214 yr comment_525011 Dude, there are plenty of psychopathic and sociopathic chicks, you just need to look harder. I used to have a friend who said women fall in 3 groups -- taken, crazy, or far, far away. He married the first one who wasn't. I ran into him recently and told him that. He laughed. "Yeah, I guess I did." Report

I haven't been to any of mine either, though technically, there hasn't been any to attend. We had ~400 people in my class and I definitely don't remember most of them. Report
July 10, 201214 yr comment_525077 I had a real, live, in-person interview today! It went well, up until the end. Then he seemed to cut it short a little. I hope that's not a bad sign, but he leaves on Wednesday, so I think I should address it in an email, rather than wait for him to get back to me, as by then, the decision will have been made. (And yes, I think I know what the issue was.) Report
