Thanksgiving is over

Much has happened over the last 5 days. Two dinners with the wife's family, one 5k race, two class reunions and one trip to the zoo with my daughter. The dinners with my wife's family were almost unbearable events. I like structure, and the fact that I have to surrender it for a few hours in my own house disturbs me. Once the children get older, maybe it will get better.

I had one of my slowest races every. I can attribute this entirely to my lack of fitness. This is a correctable situation, and I can use this as a wake up call.

The class reunions were fun, but I drank too much. Having hotel rooms both night gave me license to go a little nuts. The wife's was fun and I enjoyed the spouses of her friends. Mine too was fun. A little tradition that we have at mine is to pick the hottest female alum. This years winner was a girl named Meghan. Just absolutely smoking hot. It's unbelievable how twenty years later she can look so freaking good. After the reunion we were hanging out in the bar talking about our high school crushes and Meghan told me in HS she had a huge crush on me. Her friends backed up the statement. Ah, had I only known that information 20 years ago...I guess that is all part of the process of learning. Looking back there were so many opportunities and the key is to select the ones that are slight stretches but offer the brightest prospect. I guess things really haven't changed, its just that it takes 20 years to figure this stuff out
