What Do You Do?
Isn’t that the question we always ask when we meet somebody, or catch up after, oh I don’t know, 10 years. That question was the one answered about a million times at my high school reunion this past Saturday night. Above is a picture of all the alumni who made it. It really isn’t a huge percentage when you figure my class was almost 600 people.
It got me thinking as we answered that question over and over. So often, that question seems to define who we are. In reality though, most people are so much more than the job they spend time at from 9-5, Mon.-Fri. I guess for a lot of the people there, I wonder to a certain degree, who are you? But I guess there’s only so much you can talk about when you’re making the rounds and the DJ is bumpin the tunes at the house of Blues. Random deep thought over. Moving on.
Overall it was a good time. I ended up remembering and knowing a lot more people than I thought I would. It actually was pretty interesting finding out what some people had ended up doing. However, I must say, the MySpace era has changed the landscape of reunions I think. I had an idea of what some people were up to already, and I had a number of people walk up to me for the first time in ten years and say, "Your son is so cute! I love the pictures on My Space!"
And there were a few friends who I it was fun to reconnect with. One of those was my old friend, Chad Meyerson. And Rachel really liked getting to chat with his wife. I told him the pic of the four of us would make it to the blog, so Chad, if you stop by, here it is!
Now, leave a comment and let me know you were here!
