I have returned from the neighborhood party. Bob, who hosted the party, picked a perfect time to throw a big party. Tomorrow morning the whole inside of his house is being gutted, and he is having the whole inside done in a Japanese decor. So, Bob could care less what got dropped or spilled.
It was an interesting gathering of people. The men in the group seemed to have aged the most. And the nieighborhood women seemed to have married very old and very unatrractive men. It was certainly a lot more fun than the 40th class reunion we had back in 2008. And it didn't cost me $55.00 a head, like the reunion either. There was so much food at this party, that I complimented Bob on the perfect single guy trick - a pot luck at his house.
One woman from the neighborhood who I have not seen in over 45 years was a complete shock. I lived on the dividing line between the two north end high schools. Joann lived accross the divider, so I had not seen her since probably 9th grade. She was probably the most beautiful girl from our neighborhood. She was a knockout. The years and drugs have not been kind to Joann. I had heard stories of her years with cocaine and other drugs, but I was still floored when I saw her.
