He he - we attended Dan's 20th high school reunion (Issaquah High School, class of 1988). His standard line of the night: "I'm unemployed and living with my family, in my parent's basement." Hey, at least it was a conversation starter!
It was fun to see people happy to see Dan and interested in what we're up to these days. While always a bit awkward for the "spouse," it was nice to see the people I've met over the past several years and meet new folks too. Had a great time reconnecting with Mark and Jody and hearing all about their smoked salmon and cheese business.
The only downside was the rather hefty fee to have the event at Safeco Field. Just seemed not to make sense given it's a largely social gathering. Goodness knows there are TONS of other facilities in Seattle that can accommodate a group that size. Attempts to corral the group largely faltered through the night -- people just wanted to hang out and reconnect with old friends.
Guess that means my 20th reunion is next. Where has the time gone?
