I was thinking a bit about my ten-year high school reunion last night while I was running. I really don't know when it is, and have never really been all that excited about going back to it. But the more I thought about it, there is probably quite a few people that I went to school with that I would be interested to see nowadays. There is no doubt I still wouldn't want to face it alone...I doubt I will go unless I can convince a few other close friends to attend as well...but it still would be interesting to say the least.
The reason I bring it up is because as I was contemplating how many people I would actually want to see (names like Keith Marsolo, Tim Wolfe and Shannon Flaherty came to mind, amongst others) I thought about what they might be up to these days, and I began to wonder how many of them are probably going through the same thing as Heidi and I right now. Maybe not right this second, but really I just got to wondering how many people were having kids and have already had kids.
I know it's not like we're young anymore, so there's probably plenty out there, but it was just kinda fun to sit back and think about people who you could have never imagined even getting through high school, actually growing up and getting a job and a family. I think it might have all been brought on by a recent message from an old friend of mine who was one of the craziest people I ever knew and now has a couple of kids and seems to be really embracing fatherhood.
Seriously, it's kinda encouraging to think that if Curt Grether can be a good dad, then why the hell can't I?
