Tonight, We Are Young

Song Lyric of the Day:

But our friends are back / So let’s raise a toast / ‘Cause I found someone to carry me home / Tonight / We are young / So let’s the set the world on fire / We can burn brighter than the sun

Fun. / “We Are Young“

Tonight is my (and Rich’s) high school reunion. Our twentieth high school reunion. (Sh1t, we’re getting old.) As the four of you who have read this blog since the beginning know (hi, guys!), we didn’t make it to our tenth reunion. But we’ll be going to the informal gathering tonight, the family park get-together tomorrow afternoon, and the formal (official) event tomorrow night. The big question now is how many of our fellow graduates will make it. Out of a class of about 530, just over 300 of us are members of our class’/reunion Facebook page. And out of all of us, as of last week maybe 60 people had confirmed they were going. I’m hoping for a bigger turnout than that, but it’ll still be nice to see the people who do show up. The planning committee has done a great job, though, and outside of Facebook I can’t think of a faster or easier way for them to have spread the word about the reunion. Not to mention the work they’ve put into organizing events for this weekend. So kudos to them.

I’m a completely different person now than I was in high school; I imagine not a lot of people outside my close friends will even remember me. Which is fine, because I already know what story I’m going to tell people about how Rich and I got together. All I’ll say about that now is “mwahahahahahahahahaha!”

So here’s to a fun trip down memory lane this weekend. And for good measure, here’s the video for today’s Song Lyric of the Day. Appropriate for the occasion, I think.
