High School Reunion time

I'm in Blacksburg, Va, my hometown, for my 30th high school reunion. On my to-do list, I did get my hair cut this morning but completely forgot to lose 20 pounds. The town looks pretty good. There is a depressing number of vacant storefronts in the business areas, but the residential areas look great. The houses have all aged 30 years since I graduated but they are well kept and the neighborhoods are impressive. Its interesting to see which businesses still remain. Cook's Clean Center is still operating in the same location and my friend Martin tells me that Top of the Stairs still exists. Daddy's Money unfortunately is one of those vacant stores now. Well almost time to get ready for the picnic down by the river. I'll file another report later.

"Completely forgot to lose 20 pounds". I am doing that ALL the time!

Anne sent me over...such a sweet wife. Nice little blog you've got here. I'll be back. Which is not a threat. Although I suppose you could take it that way. Especially after you meet some of my friends.

Thanks. Do come back. I get jealous of all of the readers my wife's blog gets, so I appreciate any visits or comments.
