high-school reunion

[cellio]

It's not my imagination; I really am from a different planet than those folks.

Today's mail brought a pitch for a high-school reunion (round-number year, so presumably special). Now even if I wanted to go this one starts out with two fatal flaws (a Friday night, and Thanksgiving weekend), but... no, let me just share the list of highlights for the weekend:

Friday:
- WPIAL high-school football finals
- dinner with cash bar

Saturday:
- family get-together at "FunFest" (whatever that is)
- flag football game (playing, not watching)
- Pitt football game
- "hanging out for the evening at a local establishment...suggestions welcome"

Sunday:
- Steeler party

No, I really don't think so!

Oddly enough, I got an e-mail today about the events planned for the 10th reunion of my grad school class, and my feelings were similar.

Highlights:

- wine and cheese reception on Friday evening
- dinner with classmates after reception
- family picnic at National Zoo on Saturday around midday
- drinks on Saturday evening

It felt pretty good to RSVP "no", not least since all this quote-unquote fun is going to be taking place over the first days of Sukkos.

family picnic at National Zoo

At least you have a destination that some people would go to independently. :-)

But yeah, I can see how that entire package would fall flat for you, even without Sukkot.

I dunno--yours sounds way better than the one ellid described (but I happen to like the National Zoo :-D)
