Ansonia High School Reunion
I've never gone to a high school reunion. I was pretty odd in high school, odd isn't so good. What's funny too is how little I remember Being There. Even so today, for reasons I can't say, not really, I am going to my 50 year (fifty years. Am I 50? I guess so) high school reunion in Ansonia Connecticut. To see people I don't know, and I don't think I ever did, and to be in a place where I spent my first 18 years. I am going out of curiosity, and because I'd like to see all those people (I remember Liking Them. Although what does that even mean?) and because I'm interested in what we say about our lives.
What we say
In writing class when I teach I ask writers to introduce themselves to tell us who they are what they say often unexpected besides marriages yes or no children some people like to say too much about children grandchildren in particular besides expected details of life it's what they say a woman wrote that she now that she is 73 she can finally tap dance that she tapped away from life that didn't work she tapped into a different song.
