i know you know.

do you remember when you were twenty years old and full of talent and promise and anything seemed possible?

do you ever sit back and wonder what you've done with your life that measures up to any of that?

in a few minutes i won't be able to put off any longer heading up to my college reunion. i am not here for the reunion. i am here to honor the retiring choir director and sing one last time in a massed alumni choir.

i have come in from the woods for this and while am enjoying staying in a room, i am nervous about people and mourning my losses very keenly.

but while i was finding the parking lot they want us to park in (the campus is much larger than it ever was in my day), i noticed there was a geocache RIGHT THERE so i went ahead and found it.

had to.

I remember being twenty years old. I was never full of talent and the only real promise was that Uncle Sam had a plan for me that involved an M-16 and an all-expense paid vacation to Southeast Asia.

Nothing good seemed possible.

I breathe and have a pulse. I managed to avoid several pit traps. My life, such as it is, has been one big blur that ended up here.
