Last night was my 25th high school reunion.  The reunion planning committee had been planning this for months.  We’d get mails and Facebook notifications of the steps and progress.  They did a great job with the venue, food and trying to contact everyone to get them to come.  I suspect we had around 60 alumni there plus spouses and significant others.

I must admit that I was feeling kinda nervous in anticipation to the lead up to the reunion.  What is refreshing was that everyone I spoke to was cordial.  But I didn’t really see anyone that treated me harshly in school.  Those people had since moved on and were not in attendance.

What is unusual is those social media post from alumni saying “I wish I could have been there.”  I’m thinking that they’ve known about this for months.  Apart from starting a new job or having a sick child with no babysitter you really don’t have an excuse not to be there.  Deep down inside I think people might want attention for not being there…maybe.
