A Few Thoughts

November 23, 2002

I'm in Huntington at my grandpa's house right now. My mother's in town for her 30 year high school reunion. That's pretty cool. It's weird to think about where people from high school will be 25 years from now. I only hope that it's nothing like my vision of it, where everyone is stuck in dead end jobs so they can support their family and vacation to Florida every year. Actually, in my home town, people will be stuck but the jobs won't be dead end. They'll probably be making a lot of money but I always question how happy they really are. Thankfully, there are always the few who managed to do something really interesting with their life. Those instances make going to a reunion worth it. I love to hear success stories. It's also nice to hear about people who suck experiencing a dose of karma.

So the next week or so will be quite busy. I have friends who are arriving in NYC for Thanksgiving who I'll want to see, then I'll be heading home to see my friends and family in Chicagoland. We are having 28 people at our house for Turkey Day. It will either be entertaining or incredibly frustrating, but probably a healthy mix of the two. I love being with family, so I'm willing to put up with the hassles of 28 people crammed in a dining room. It won't hurt that there will be some amazing food. Fresh cranberry sauce is just amazing.

All of this means that you may or may not hear from me over the next week. You'll probably get some news in the beginning of the week, but once I head home on thursday it will be unlikely to get much information of substance. Just thought you should know.
