A Night for Catching Up With Old Friends

My friend Jon came home from California this week and he set up a meet-up with a diverse group of folks from our High School years. Jon and I have known each other since pre-school. He then skipped a grade and I moved so we lost touch (this was LONG before Facebook or even email). We reconnected in High School where we both did theater. Theater in High School was where I met Aaron. The three of us reconnected several years back when a mutual friend of ours passed away. We met up at the wake and funeral. We reconnected then and that was when I discovered that Aaron lived mere minutes from my house. We’ve met up from time to time ever since, not as much as both of us would like but a fair amount. I hadn’t seen Jon since the funeral 8 years ago.

I’m really glad that Jon pulled so many fun people together. We had a great time talking and laughing. we met up at Six Strings at Patriot Place. We had the place to ourselves which was a good thing because we were so loud. I think there was about 20 of us from Varsity Sports folks to Theater folks to band folks and everyone in between. I had some good conversations with a few people and many that I did not have much contact with in High School. It was easy going and fun and such a nice night. I am so glad I went out and had a great time.

Decorating the Office for Halloween

I don’t do much decorating around here but I do have some Halloween related toys that I got from Playmobil. The Ghostbusters Ecto-1 and the Scooby Doo Mystery Mansion and Mystery Machine works out perfectly to replace the Avengers that were on the Lazy Susan. This way I can turn the mansion to see the front and the back of it. There are a bunch of great Scooby Doo sets from Playmobil with even more characters. Playmobil has done an amazing job with so many different licenses. Here is the inside of the house.

I even saw that they are going to produce an A-Team set with the signature A-Team van!!
