Gone Golfing

I am leaving town for a few days, so there won't be any new posts for a while.  I am meeting a dozen or so of my high school buddies in Omaha.  We will play golf, tell stories, and try to remember what it was like when we were 17.  The golf won't be very important but the time with old friends will be priceless.  As we get older, we have realized that we probably shouldn't wait for a class reunion every five years to see one another.  We are spread all over the country and getting together isn't easy, but we try to do it every couple of years at least.  It is a pretty special bunch.  We all played sports together, were pretty fair students and have all led productive lives.  We were good solid Midwest kids.  We have a doctor, teachers, coaches, engineers, salesmen, railroad men, financial guys, accountants, and a law enforcement guy in the group.  All but a couple are retired now and we have all gotten to be about 70.  We were all baby boomers.  Many of our dads were veterans of World War II, as were most of our coaches and teachers.  Many of us did our time in Viet Nam.  Just a bunch of "grumpy old men", but all good solid citizens  and for me a pleasure to spend time with.  Talk to you all when I get back.
