The Chinese Year

That is what I meant when I said I was going to start blogging regularly in the new year. The Chinese year. Hmmmm...not really but suddenly last week I realized that I had continued to read my regular blogs and search for other interesting blogs and again I had, sort of, forgotten my own blog. So, here I ago. I re-committ to start again with weekly posts. And, more real posts about my real life.
So, about two weeks ago I got emails inviting and warning me. The messages said that I was invited to the 25th high school reunion while another message was warning me that I was receing that second message because I hadn't responded to the first one. Except, I got the messages back to back. Not like I was ignoring it. And, I sent a message back saying so. But, all the while I kept thinking that the second message was right I was probably ignoring the issue in the first place. I am such a different person now that I feel like 25 years are a lifetime, which they are, I know but still. I know that I would not go to any dance of evening get together so maybe the second message was right. Right? But, actually part of me (a small part) would like to go and see these people. There are some of them that I don't remember too well but there are some that I remember better and I even fantasize that we become friends again. Although I must admit that they (I?) live in another world even though we are not physically distant a river (literally) runs through it because the border between the US and Mexico is separated by the Rio Bravo also known at the Rio Grande on this side of the border.
