Repeat after me, you will make a 3rd blog....I will make a 3rd blog.....

....but this one will be profitable, not financially, but it'll keep a certain former classmate of mine from pulling her hair out (which would really stink because I love her hairstyle!)

Yep, another way to find old high school classmates in the online/digital age is a, yep, blog. So, shortly, I'll be making my 3rd blog, this time to inform the 270-some of us who graduated from Patrick Henry High School in Ashland, Virginia in 1985 that it's time to compare gray hairs, wrinkles, and bellies.

Our committee meeting today went 2 1/2 hours, because we were smart enough to go ahead and dive into the complicated question: "Where are they now?", which, of course, spawns off more sub-questions, like, "Do you really want to find them?"...."Do they really want us to find them"....and the personal favorite, "Are they still in jail?"

So, we've split the class up into several parts, as I have a list of people to "find". Thank goodness for the 'Net, Google, Yahoo, et al. Things we didn't have access to in 1995.

But let me give credit where credit is certainly due: Kim Hyman Gilman is an organizational machine. She has a totebag with stuff not only from 1985, but about everything we had to take care of the 10 year reunion in 1995. She's a walking museum of all things Class of '85. Thank God she's in charge! :)

And so, this wild day comes to an end with the following thoughts:

1) The first 9 verses of Revelation really are awesome, and, if we really, really study them, there's no reason to ever be afraid of either reading or understanding the final book in the Bible.

2) The hard work of the Reunion Committee began as of this afternoon.

3) Peyton Manning cannot win in a stadium named after a razor. He always leaves with many nicks, cuts, and razor burn.

4) The only team left in the playoffs that I could even begin to care about is Atlanta (they're underdogs, and they've got Tech's main main, Mr. Vick!)

AND IN CLOSING.....

We need to get our playlist together for our DJ for the October event, so, think of a great 80's tune, preferably before 1986, and send me a comment. We just might use your suggestion on the dance floor! :)
