Over caffeinated, under compensated

"Coffee is the common man's gold, 
and like gold, it brings to every man 
the feeling of luxury and nobility"

20 and counting
   
Over 20 years ago I graduated from high school. I can hardly believe it. Not that I particularly liked high school, I didn't, but 20 years is a long time passing, more than half my life (just barely), so I'm paying attention. Our reunion is coming up over Thanksgiving weekend. I missed my 15 year reunion and I've decided to attend this one. I'll be making the 3000 mile trip to Boston on Thanksgiving day (my clever attempt at avoiding the travel rush - ha, we'll see), and the reunion is Friday night. I don't have the cliche reunion angst; I graduated with a small class (100+) of mostly nice people and I'm fortunate enough to have a wonderful life now; great family, great friends, and - if you knew my grandfathers, you might say - a surprisingly large amount of my hair.   .:
