Reunion Notes

Living, loving, and learning. Developing content for lots of dot-coms. Still writing, editing, volunteering, and adventuring. Today I met with Community Access Televison regarding various side projects.

My Mac Memories:
(1.) Observing the subtle changes of the seasons while walking through Tangletown at dusk and dawn.
(2.) Digging the multi-pierced ears of the coolest waitress (sorry, I forget this wonder-woman's name), at the St. Clair Broiler while noshing on supremely fortifying late-night and/or  morning-after "nutrients."
(3.) O'Gara's very kind, loving, and sweet matrons and waitresses; dimly-lit shadows of neon-back-lit shamrocks glowing sweetly over hungry walleye dinner specials; including a baked potato, salad, rolls and butter... and just about the best night of lubricated conversation; love lost, forlorn, and found — to be found in the late ’70s and early ’80s in sweet mother of all: Saint Paul.
(4.) During Interim (January) — enduring early morning "snovels" through 35- zero wind chill shoveled "snow tunnels" (previously known as sidewalks), to attend an unbelievably cool film class where we first experienced David Lynch's Eraserhead, and the uber classic: The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari. Not to mention my first viewing of Felinni's Amarcord.

I escaped humidity and mosquitoes for the warmer and snowier Vail Valley. Lured here from a chance encounter at my 15-year high school reunion, that resulted in marital bliss and two awfully cute little girls. Currently gazing out onto the snow-covered runs, “spring time lime green” aspen foliage, the 9th hole and ignoring work.

My Mac Memories:

• Sitting at the top of the stairs at SAGA engaging in the daily brief connections forged when silverware, trays or the mystery meals were not stocked and memorizing everyone's number.
• Two consecutive and final years of the Kirk quad. Can you say two bathrooms for just four girls?
• All girl parties during interim - Dave & Dave...Stealing Kay and K-ron's Wapatuli idea.
• Sophomore year in Berlin and Vienna and the chance to see most of Europe 10 years before the wall came down.
• Questioning authority, creating a new identity, exploring the world, and meeting so many interesting people.
• And all that stuff that's not fit for web public access.
