Just a new millenium "mid-lifer" hanging on to my free spirit and my need to live a fulfilling life outside the restrictive conventions of clocks and calendars.  So much time is spent on trying to make free time for ourselves that the process basically drains our ability to truly enjoy the moment when we are finally free of obligation. Cell phones, texting, IM-ing, email, etc. are heavy-handed, two-faced culprits in the demise of free time. Enjoying downtime is not so easy to do in this era of technological "attachedness".  So what am I doing writing a blog?  Read on and hopefully you and I will find out...

reunion HE SAID, SHE SAID banter continues
me to cecilia, edwin and claire
hey guys,
first, i hope you had a happy mother's day.  that means you too edwin. heheheeheeee. anyway, i just wanted to send out a small update on who i've found online.  matt fxxxxxxxx.
i got this yesterday.
Hey Danny!

How the heck are you my friend?!?!?!  Man, talk about
a shout from the past!  I was thinking of the whole
group the other day when i got that infernal reminder
of my advancing age!  I can hardly believe it has been
20 years!  I have wondered about how you were over the
last few years, but the last time I tried to reach
you, I ran into dead ends.  But I realize I am mostly
just technology retarded/resistant and could have made
more progress if I were just a bit smarter.

So, are you going to the reunion?  I am not sure I
will.  I have pretty much ruled it out.  Although I
wouldnt mind making contact with a few of you guys &
gals from the old days, I have no great need for that
entire mess!

How are things in your life?  The web site looks good
and I knew I was in the right spot as soon as I saw
your smile!  Same old Danny smile!  Are you still with
that same guy I met way back when?  Jeez, how freakin
long ago was that?  I suck, I really am out of touch!

I am well.  I am still in the Army.  Going on 20 years
now (DUH!).  Plan on retiring in about 3.5 years.  I
am an officer now.  I finally went to college and got
a degree in Economics.  I am on my second wife and am
really enjoying it this time!  We got married in
Vegas, elvis, limos, gambling, the whole enchilada!
Been to Iraq a few too many times now and that has
done it for me.  Now I am teaching junior officers who
are getting ready to take command.  I am in San
Antonio and really like it down here!  I would love to
get back to SF, but it is way toooooo expensive.  I
took Kearson (my wife) there a couple times and we
really love it.

I just got a new macbook and was trying it out when I
saw the message from you to my mom (she forwarded it
to me).  Have you adopted any kids?  None for me. 

Well, enough prattling on.  Drop me a note if you get
the chance.  Have you been successful in contacting
any of the old crew?

Take care and thanks again for making contact.
Your friend,
Matt

cecilia to me and edwin
WOW!  That is so great that you got a hold of Matt.  We really did have a good group of friends didn't we?  Can't wait to see on Saturday.
*****
edwin to cecilia and me
Huh. Everyone is coming out of the woods now.

Who's next...Faye Weinberg?
*****
cecilia to edwin and me
Faye?????!!!!!

Why Edwin, do you have some secret fantasy about her that you need to confess?
*****
me to edwin and cecilia
that's weird?  like two weeks ago i was actually driving through daly city and drove right by her old house.  and i wondered about trying get a hold of her, too.  i'll let you know if i actually put the effort into it.  i know i told edwin, but , cec, my brother said we should do a youth group reunion too.
*****
cecilia to me and edwin
YOUTH GROUP.  I don't even remember who was in Youth Group.  No wait, I remember a neurotic chick named Frances, Francine?  Is that how we met Faye? Oh, was Scott Pendell part of that group too? 
*****
me to cecilia and edwin
god i vaguely remember  francine(?) what about jerry and mike lucy? scott pendell was around for something.  i remember somehow his brother mark was involved too.  but i don't think it was youth group
*****
edwin to cecilia and me
I saw Francie working at Longs Drugs in San Bruno, haven't seen Scott Pendell in over 10 years, last I heard he was getting married or remarried or something. He's career army officer too like Matt (God help us), assigned to, get this, Military Intelligence.

Mark is one of you, Danny (you haven't seen him at you gay-bob meetings?)

Mike Lucy is married and living in Castro Valley, working for FedEx.

Gerry married, then divorced some gal from Ireland (moved there too for a few years).

End of report.
*****
me to edwin and cecilia
thanks for that update edwin.
everything was news to me except for the fact that mark and i play for the same team.  that was so obvious back in high school.  oh and when we gays meet, we don't always bob.  that's reserved for really special meetings with high-powered political-types.  don't you get the news reports, mister computer intelligence?  maybe that's a symptom of scott being part of military intelligence.  hmm?

i really dont care what nonsense you say what you want bout me, but when i hear my brother insulted, i need to respond. scott is loyally serving his country as a u.s. army major, now on his 3rd iraq tour and serves as the press spokesperson for the 2nd stryker calvary regiment. he is a loving husband and father and is a success story for those who have battled dyslexia, like himself. please get your story straight in the future, before you post such cruel and demeaning comments. some might see this as over-reacting on my part, but i can not ignore such uninformed comments about my brother.
