Coming Home to Kansas

who just turned 32...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, GARRETT!

In anticipation of this weekend, I started rereading our blog, starting from the very beginning (have to page down to the bottom and read up). Two years, we've been going at this! Wow!

Reminded me of a lot of memories we'll have to rehash. Go back and reread! I'm so excited to see everyone so soon!

Hey, guys,

So. It sounds like most of us will be home for OSD, and of course we should get together. I'm hoping, also, that we can include a memorial for Mariah. It seems really important. Any ideas? Locations? Times?

Unfortunately, I'm going to have to leave sooner than I had expected, probably the night of the 29th in order to attend the memorial for another friend outside of Chicago on the 30th. Which is all very sudden and sad, and necessitates changing my flight. Any suggestions on how I might do that with a minimum of charges?

As it happens, I'm going to be in Kansas the week of Old Settler's day. I know Jen is having her reunion...are you going? I was thinking of heading up to Salina for the Land Institute Prairie Festival, but that seems less and less likely.

Eliza is having her tenth year reunion. I think it's telling of the different ways that we felt about high school that I was way the hell out of the country for ours, and she is making a special trip all the way from Madison to go to hers. Not that I don't completely value our friendships, guys.

I changed my mind about Facebook.

It still annoys me that they broadcast every little thing, like, "Ellie just wrote on Lesley's wall: 'hi!'" but a lot of my classmates are on it, and I just discovered you can play SCRABBLE!

So. If you're not on it, get on it, and we'll start a Scrabble game.
