Toons and Reunions

Over the weekend I bought a few "clickable" fine-point Sharpie markers in anticipation of some upcoming cartooning I'm planning. I decided to try them out last night while watching some episodes of the Three Stooges on DVD. It's a quick toon, so forgive the flaws.

This summer marks two anniversaries for me. One is today, which is my 16th anniversary at work. Last year was the bigger one as I got an increase in my vacation time (which I often have trouble scheduling, but it's a nice problem to have).

The second is that this summer is supposed to be my 20th high school reunion. There's not a big list of folks I enjoyed hanging out with in high school, but I suppose it would be good to see everyone. I was chatting with aceofspace last week and we were surprised we'd not heard anything about the reunion. He told me he would do some checking with some of the more local folks back home. He got an email from one of our friends who informed him that while she would love to have a reunion, apparently there were problems at our ten-year in 2000. Those reunion planners got stuck with a lot of the cost as some of our former classmates bounced checks and didn't bother paying up. Nice, huh?

So, the 20-year might not happen. I can't say I'm overly disappointed as there's only a handful I really want to see again, but it does seem like it is something that should happen. aceofspace and I were debating on just planning a dinner with the friends we actually want to see. Time will tell!
