I love the 68* to 75* degree range and have put it my request already. part of december, January and february look promising. Resting today in general. Religious reasons of course. Enjoy .....

Hey guys, Up early yesterday (4 am) to head back to central Kansas to watch Leo run in his XC meet. He ran a PB (personal best) for an 8k race, so he was pleased. Afterwards I headed south while Rosie and #2 headed west to home. I came down to stay with a childhood friend and attend their 50th year class reunion. I was in the class as well up to the 8th grade, when Dad and mom moved us west for a new teaching position for Dad. Anyway, through FaceBook, I reconnected with this one classmate and through him another, who was class president, and the one in charge of getting the reunion together and he sent me an invite to it. So, beings Leos' race was only 20 minutes away, I've made it a weekend. Staying with the friend, who just moved back from Californica to the home town.

Yesterday afternoon we went out to visit another classmate, not mine, as he went to another school in the district, but the same high school. When he told me who it was, I thought the name sounded familiar, but couldn't place it for sure. So, when the first friend introduced me, he said, "I remember you, Tom. You were a high jumper and we competed against one another in 7th and 8th grade." Then he turned to his wife and said, "I hated him because he always beat me." we had a really nice chat for about an hour.

Then that evening we went to visit another classmate (again not one of mine as he went to yet another school in the district), we hit it off as well. Both of which will be at the banquet this evening and I'm looking forward to seeing again.

This morning, Kevin and I decided to go back down to the old neighborhood and reminisce. Of course he lived in the neighborhood until he went off to college (his folks lived there several years longer), so he had remembered quite a few things that brought back lots of memories for me. He told me several of the classmates (who WERE in my class) were going to be there this evening.

Before I left home, I dug out old class pictures from our grade school days. I'll be taking them with us this evening.
I'm staying here again tonight and will head home tomorrow.
