Boat trip, day 1, work

Heading out for the day, on a cold, yet sunny, February morning.

Why does visiting a water feature stimulate our mind, body and spirit?

Compass by Margaritaville, Hotel.

On the water.

Surrounded by water, and boats and ‘Margaritaville’ vibes.

Ps. Our official response is, “We are visiting to do ‘water-stimulation’ research.”

Lots of hugging, smiles, and laughter.

Memory lane is a nice street.

What was Cheryl’s 50th High School reunion like at the final-day picnic?

In hindsight, i laid pretty low socially.

In real time at the reunion i decided to let the classmates talk amongst themselves rather than spend time with a ‘stranger’ (me).

As a bonus, i had ample observation and deep-thinking time i hadn’t planned on.

Early Summer Trip day 8, work

Best college cafeteria accolades
Seven consecutive years. Out for a walk and stopped by one of our favorite Allentown ‘restaurants’.

What was it like to attend Cheryl’s 50th High School reunion?

Pretty good.

Visionary?

Didn’t seem so. In my opinion.

Unless the vision was to have fun and get people to connect.

Note: An overwhelming percentage of the 130 classmates attending live near where they grew up. So the need to create get-together opportunities seems weird to me. If you want to connect in person with a classmate, just text them. For Cheryl, that means someone has to fly 1,100 miles, secure lodging, etc, etc. For the rest, an acceptable drive to an agreed upon location. Bring the grandkids if inclined.

Quote
On it.

How will i prepare for the third-day 50th High School reunion finale picnic?

First and foremost, i’ll try to humbly exude the photo above’s message.

This is Cheryl’s time to shine.

i am in the shadows, grateful to witness Cheryl’s loving audacity.

Note: i am the luckiest human on the planet, to be married to Cheryl.

Early Summer Trip day 6, work

Downtown community yard sale
Not far from Cheryl’s cousin’s house.

What memories do i think will happen from this three-day 50th High School reunion?

i will remember that Michael didn’t sell a thing and literally no one showed up.

Note: Cheryl and i left after Michael’s set-up was complete.
