reunion

My class's ten-year reunion is this year and I'm not going. The biggest reason is this: not only are the people I would want to see there not going, they can't even find them! True, I know where a couple of those folks are but I'll never tell. But I wouldn't get to see my prom date or my more nerdy friends who made fun of me a lot. So screw it.
