I just got an email that my 20th high school reunion is this year.

How did this happen? How have 20 years passed since I graduated from high school?

Much to my surprise, I'm thinking I might actually go. Unlike many people I know, high school wasn't a miserable experience for me. I wouldn't want to do it again, but I've never regarded it as the best time of my life either. I've never felt an overwhelming desire to reconnect with everyone I went to high school with. But I guess 20 years is enough time passed to be curious what others in my class are like now.

I don't know. By September I may decide that attendance is not a particularly appealing idea.

I went to my fifth. It was too early. I didn't have a bad time in high school, either. It was just too early. I missed my tenth, because I was seven months pregnant and we were in the middle of moving. I went to my 15th, and was so very glad I did. My 20th is coming up, too. I intend to go.

Yeah, my main thought about the 5 year reunion was "I don't really care about seeing these people again."

This last Sunday a friend mentioned that she was on the reunion committee. My first thought was a sort of "blech". But then when I was copied on an email, I saw these names of people. Names of people that I had a basically neutral relationship with, but made me a soften a bit and wonder what people are like now, what are they up to?
