5 Year Reunion

You graduated from high school, then sailed through the drunken debauchery of college, and before you realize, it is your 5-year high school reunion.

seeing these familiar faces, it felt as if we never left. some people, myself included, are bad at keeping in touch with their old friends, but that is just how it is in life these days. you move to a new place, you move on and meet new friends. but years later, you can still share stories with old friends over a beer or two. because of that, i have had quite a few beers that weekend

btw, happy 23rd birthday to Gerald, in case anyone cares.

The Mighty Queens of Freeville

Tonight, Amy Dickinson came to Cortland for her book signing. For those who don't know her, she is a syndicated advice columnist whose column, "Ask Amy", appears in more than 150 newspaper nationwide. And she is a NY Times bestselling author. It was a great honor to be able to meet her in person, get photographed with her, and have her sign my book. This is the first book signing I have ever been to and I really like it. She is a very likable person. When I walked in the room, I had no idea who she was. But in mere 20 minutes, she completely won my heart with her sense of humor. I started reading the book as I was waiting in line to get my book signed and I am seriously debating if I should stay up all night to finish the book. I am her biggest fan

So why come to Cortland of all places?

Because she grew up in Freeville, which is 8 miles away from where I live now. Though I have only moved here 8 months ago, this gives me an unspeakable sense of pride.

Go upstate New York!
