It was one of those things that suddenly seemed to "make sense", if you know what I mean. The main school reunion went on without me as usual, and I still don't miss it. But the <i>band</i> reunion turned out to be well worth going to. Yes, it was a bit of a dare, but at least they weren't <i>total</i> strangers. Howdy, Robyn!

I'm afraid you'll have to check with Dan on that one. :) It would be fine with me, though--as long as you could provide a definition and rationale for that definition, based upon each word's root, structure, etc., etc. (Are you sure you'd want to go to all that trouble? It's a lot easier to simply look through the dictionary.) ;) Cheers! Jeanne Hmmm, Robert, that’s an interesting question.

Choosing your own future beats just letting it happen. Interesting that though you don't like going to class reunions, you were daring and chose to go anyway! Hmmmm... Bob, Hurrah!

I don't know if you ever heard of an old TV show called "Mork and Mindy"? It was a comedy starring Robin Williams as Mork, an alien from the planet Ork. Very funny series! But one quirk about Orkans - they were born old, and grew younger! I've often heard the saying, <i>"youth is wasted on the young"</i>. Seems like there might be a grain of truth in it after all, don't you think? Hi Karin! I don’t know if you ever heard of an old TV show called “Mork and Mindy”?

I’ve often heard the saying, “youth is wasted on the young”. Seems like there might be a grain of truth in it after all, don’t you think?

Satisfaction with life - oh yes Excited for the future - every day! Are those college roomates still doing what they wanted to do? Surely 35 years on some of them are onto another phase of their life and have made changes to go with it? I have met some very wise young people and some older folks who must have been at the end of the queue when the wisdom gift was being given out - power to all of them. From one “late bloomer” to another - that’s the way to go!

It took me until I was in my 40’s to finally “choose” where I wanted to go! Late bloomer, I guess.
