Back Home from High School Reunion!

Whew---a whirlwind weekend, but oh so fun and memorable. I am about to feed Paul some dinner and hope to write a lot more about this weekend later tonight...if not, then tomorrow while Paul is in school. Can I just say how pretty St. Louis is....hills and lots of trees! And I do mean tons of trees--compared to San Antonio! I just about cried when I saw my old friend Kathy Casper. She and I had a special bond for a couple of years and I have not seen her in 20 years. She is still tall and pretty and teaches third grade in Columbia, Missouri--home to the Mizzou Tigers. My friends Jamie and Suzy who planned and orchestrated the reunion looked phenomenal! They are both so pretty and fun to be around. Although, I did not get to spend much time with either one, so I guess I need to go back to STL and hang with them..and their very cool husbands! Brian Belgeri was still handsome and has a very cute, sweet and outgoing wife--Myra. I really liked her a lot and told Danny--see, if we lived in STL, we could hang out with them from time to time. They have 2 small boys and I might add--very handsome little boys.

Paul needs me....but I will leave you with these tidbits -- no, I did not get drunk either night, and so there was no puking. I am sure Danny was happy about that! And Suzy Halley Guccione (one of my best friends in high school) asked me to say the blessing -- you know---15-20 minutes beforehand. Naturally I said yes, even though you know how shy I am.....right?! I thought about what I wanted to say and decided, "great--this is the perfect moment to thank Jamie and Suzy for all their efforts in planning and hosting our reunion..." after the prayer of course. And yes, it happened, dementia set in and after the prayer, I forgot to acknowledge them and I felt so bad. So, Jamie and Suzy-- we all appreciate you taking on the challenge of dealing with our 20 year reunion and all of us crazy classmates all over the country. It was a grand ol time and we thank you very much! I will help plan the 25 year reunion. Can we have it at a casino?! :-)

As we said in the 80's -- Ain't that a kick in the butt? Al Calavicci on Quantum Leap.
And Ay oh- oh ay...Tony Micelli on Who's the Boss?.
