graduations...

Just getting back from a reception that my dad hosted for the local high school's graduation speaker--a friend of mine who is also a former student of my parents that is an actor & playwright. I wish I could've heard his graduation talk, everyone was raving about his warmth and connection to the audience. Hopefully someone was videotaping and I can get to see it, I'll have to email the principal and ask about that.

Last week I created a FaceB*ok account and have been getting in touch with some high school friends I haven't heard from in over twenty years. That plus the end of the school year and graduations and so forth has got me thinking and reminiscing about days gone by. I definitely am not glamorizing the past but I wonder what I would do differently if I could do it again. Mostly I realize I don't fit in with this generation. And that makes me feel old. And a little sad about being old. And nostalgic.
