The harbour city of ancient Rome seems like a cool stop while we're in Rome, but timing is everything - not sure we'll be able to do it.

This Wikipedia entry of my old high school doesn't contain any information about freshman initiation. Back in the old days, I watched a few of my peers have to ride down Boot Hill on a Big Wheel, which usually lead to a crash and considerable rolling over at the steepest part. I think they used to put kids in garbage cans and roll them down the hill as well, at least that was the legend. Freshman initiation was usually imposed by senior class boys on freshman boys.

Hopefully this means that "freshman initiation" is no longer part of the high school culture. Seemed kinda stupid at the time, seems really stupid 30 years plus out.

A couple cards were passed around my office this afternoon for everyone to sign. One was for a baby on the way and one guy is tying the knot. Interestingly, I was able to write the same line on both of them.

"Better you than me!"

Like everyone else, there are people in my past that I've completely lost track of, and I'm at a point in my life where I'm curious as to where they are. I also recognize that people do google-searches of their own name, and of people they know, and so I'm kind of hoping that by posting the names of a few people that I'm curious about, I might find out more about them from the googlesearch. If this post does draw you in by the name, and you want to contact me, just use the email on the side. If this actually works, I might end up doing it again.
