I had the distinct, enjoyable, and recent honor of speaking to my high school classmates at our 50th anniversary reunion.
I pretended that it was the commencement speech that no one had asked me to deliver so long ago. Just kidding! I hadn’t yet acquired any kind of real smarts back then: that came later as I enrolled in the Herd School of Hard Knocks.
(You either pay for your education—or you pay for your learning!)
But it sure was a delight to reconnect with all those old people, who sorta reminded me of kids I used to know!
Turns out we have even more in common than we knew back then, as we are now seasoned with the spice of robust life experiences. I cherish all these, my old friends!
