We just received an email reminding us that 48 years ago today we graduated high school. Living in Southern California we never thought about the fact it was Ground Hog Day.

This means 48 years ago plus 2 days Keith proposed to me.

You graduated from high school in February? How'd that happen?

"They" said it wouldn't last. Revenge is sweet

There's also the saying, "Success is the best revenge."

We had half years which I think is much better. Each year was divided by semesters. First you were B grade, then A grade. Our winter class was much smaller than the June graduates that followed us. Classmates.com lumps us all into one year.

I could really see the difference when Bryan & Craig were in school, instead of only a half year difference in age the full year seemed much greater at times.

That's a good school policy DR JANE...

Back from a delightful day at the conference. Met up with my grad school friend at a mystery writers panel, after which we went to lunch and another author panel at the Hilton. From there she went to catch her train home and I taxied back to my hotel.

DR Jane, you can tell Keith that the shuttles ran throughout the blizzard and received many appreciative tweets at #alamw15. Please give him my extra thanks!

We also had half years in Detroit and I would have graduated at the end of January 1969. Several elementary teachers wanted to "double promote" me, but my parents refused. I took the second half of 8th grade in summer school 1964 and graduated in June of 1968 instead. That explains why Richard's younger brother and are only 5 days apart in age but graduated from high school a year apart. The half year thing was a big city thing and not done in Middletown, OH.

You were still in the age range of the full year students which isn't too bad. My parent's refused to skip my brother even one semester.

It appears that my flight to Dayton for tomorrow has not been cancelled. People who were scheduled to leave yesterday and today have had lots of problems. I realize it could change for me, but I'll hope for the best.

My father, who was born and grew up in Detroit (actually River Rouge) was also a half year student. He graduated in January of 1941 from RR High School.

Monday morning greetings! I'm going to the conference center this morning. Apparently, the shuttles are running and the only time I have to be outside is from hotel entrance to the bus - about 30 paces.

Ginny, I enjoyed your photos from the Chicago storm.

I've had some good luck: I've managed to dredge up the damaged LaCie hard drive and i'm hopefully going to retrieve some of those 2013 backups I lost. fingers crossed!

I'm sending whatever computer skills I still possess to you. Remotely.

Vibes you're able to retrieve the data!

I recall a surprise storm in Denver causing me to miss my connection to San Francisco. I was very disappointed when I did not get the next flight to SF and had to take the following one. It turned out I was lucky as the first flight was also delayed and people from that flight were on standby for my SF flight home. Had I not been unlucky to begin with I would have likely spent the night at a SF hotel.

I'm waiting for delivery of the smallest Chicago-style deep dish pizza I could order. It will still be more than I can eat - who wants some?
