this isn't much but it's something

i'm getting e-mails about my upcoming 20 year high school reunion. my feelings they are mixed. see, i don't know if this is an opportunity for the kind of pain that feels good (like biting infected taste buds) or the kind of pain that dulls the senses. either way it's pain. there's no getting around that. i haven't kept in touch. i started not keeping in touch right after i got out. in fact, glossing over the list of names from my class i barely remember any of them. this is a false dilemma. the point i really want to make is that i work with folks that are not yet even 20 years old. and, as far as i can tell, they are fully human. i treat them as such. hopefully in 20 years they'll be as midly interested in the possibilities as i may or may not be.
