Flashback 1988
20 YEARS! You heard me. 1992. This weekend is my 20th High School Reunion. Our class slogan was "This is it ya'll" and y'all was punctuated like that on our Sr. shirts. It was a mighty fine public education I was receiving. I graduated from Skyline High School in Dallas Texas. I was in the cosmetology cluster at Skyline. Oh...my days in cosmetology. Those were some fun times. Above is a picture with my friend Liz taken at Freshman Homecoming. All I can say is this: I'm so glad I live in Utah now and they have no idea what a Homecoming Mum is. How ridiculous are those things?

At my graduation, the Salutatorian gave a lovely speech all about a dead cat. Something that my parents have reminded me about so many times throughout the years. On our reunion facebook page, someone brought up the dead cat speech and several others said that their parents always remind them of that also. I just found out, after all these years, the person giving the speech was giving a nonsense speech because he was not happy about being forced to give a speech. Now, after 20 years, the dead cat finally makes sense!

So like I said, this weekend is my 20th High School Reunion. And I am perfectly content to spend the weekend sitting around the house with this bunch 1,200 miles away.

That's when I was born. How does that make you feel?
I agree that I would so much rather chill at home with my guys than pay $85 to hang out with people who mostly ignored my existence 20 years ago. Even if I still lived in Dallas I wouldn't go. You & Sara look like you're having a blast in that picture, especially Sara (sarcasm). I like the picture with your mom &dad. I also agree that homecoming mums were ridiculous in the extreme. Finally, I don't remember the dead cat speech at all.
