A big reunion is coming up, college related, and I haven’t been to a single one over the years. Pictures of me in a red-and-white striped gown I recycled from my high school prom have been circulated. I remember the dress but not my date’s name. Awful dress, and obviously the date didn’t stick around.
My roommate worked in the development office and got paid for it. I got to volunteer for events, which was always a treat because the meal involved was way better than one could get in the cafeteria. I gave out name tags, hung coats, and let the alumni know they were appreciated by giving them a smile and treating them well.
Now, I hear that alums will not be allowed to “rent” dorm rooms for our reunion, as many years after graduation, they’re afraid we’ll do something we didn’t think of at age 19? Personally I don’t think I could sleep within those cinder block walls even for one night.
Yes, I’m thinking of going. Bad idea, I know. I want to see a few old friends, meet one retired professor and maybe even go to Mass. Imagine that, roof falls in and it’s all me.
It’s the London Homesick Blues all over again. Thanks to Jerry Jeff Walker for helping me to get through college! Cheers, Dee
Cooking with Dee 
Add the Marshall Tucker Band, Pure Prairie League, and other sundry bands.
KC & the Sunshine Band are in town tonight… Ah, the nostalgia!
I just bought Jim some cd’s, Bad Company, Clapton, & another I already forgot (it’s in his car). College reunion is coming up and & an old friend, how old? He slept outside my dorm room door first night of Freshman orientation. Anyway, he’s making me a mix cd of music from “back in the day.” I’m sure we’ll have some ELO, Marshall Tucker, and Jerry Jeff Walker’s London Homesick Blues. And Led, of course. Back when they made real music. Dee
