Thanksgiving Week

[dlgood]

Damn, I'm really tired. I never get enough sleep, and usually it catches up with me in November and May. This year is no exception. On top of that, I've been having extra-insomnia going. Sunday night, I just gave up and stayed awake long enough to just go into work early. The net result is that, instead of producing the sort of work my bosses and customers look at and say "wow, that's good!" -- this week I'm producing the sort of work where people say "I guess that'll do."

So, anybody in the DC Area want to go to the Maryland vs. Wake Forest football game? I have season tickets with the parents and siblings -- when the parents returned from vacation in Pascagoula, mom had pneumonia, so her seat is up for grabs...

Also, this Saturday night will be my Ten-year High School reunion. Given my own particular brand of post-graduation notoriety, I'm really kind of looking forward to this. By most standards, given the sort of expectations I'd built up in the hometown -- I'd actually clock in as a bit of a disappointment if not for my TeeVee fame. Or at least, by my own standards.

Also, for those who've done the reunion thing... I'm not wearing a tie. The question is, Sportcoat or No?

My 10th was just this side of black tie so I can't help you. I went all out. I was the Willow of the school and I was one of the few who still wasn't working the same dead end job they had in high school (me being fresh from my residency on an Indian Reservation). I went for revenge alone.

I went for revenge alone.

Well, I do enjoy social gatherings. And even though I've no particular intent to pursue anybody, I like that sense of optimistic 'I might get laid' feeling I always get before these things. And I want to see who's held up...

i was more interested to see if still wanted most of them dead. Curiously, it was fun to watch the Cordelia's of my class kissing my I'm Now A Doctor butt and sadly all they could offer to the conversation was the price of lunch meat at the Kroger's and if they were lucky maybe talk about their kids.

Though I did feel sorry for one of them. She's married to my brother's best friend and I was talking to her at my brother's wedding reception and she was crying because all she ever did was get married and had kids and had no life outside of them and all the other ladies in the wedding party had careers and lives.
