How to age well
Trust me if I knew how to age well I would be a very rich man. But it was a topic of conversation. How does everyone look? Are they different or the same? And as far as I could tell we all seem to be doing just fine.
I admit to being a bit on the nervous side on the way to our little reuninon weekend. But that all went away thanks to a good tall cocktail and some food, even though some people didn't think I really ate anything.... Great conversations. Photo moments. Teaching text messaging to Melissa (you'll get it eventually). Cathing up on anything and everything. Kate shockingly knowing the bartender and providing us with more shots and a larger head buzz. Andrea's shirt "issues". A decent cover band. Good dancing. Kimmie's hand in hand walk with Chris. Yes the night had it all. Including the return of their nickname for me, "Sweet Lew". Thankfully only returning for a brief engagement. Then back to Melissa's palacial estates in Mahl-den and a sofa couch with my name written all over it. Yes girls, we ARE a good time.
The hangover Sunday started early. Although I wanted to stay in bed it was a nice 90 degree day outside and Melissa was itchy to head out. So Melissa and I hit Castle Island after getting lost in our own town and her issues with my driving. (Some things never change..) Forgetting to pick up the sandwiches. Taking in some UV's. (I should have sun blocked...) Some double decker planes. One out of control kiter. One hardcore kiter who seemed to like to float it over us. Memory lapses. Was it a hawk or was it a kite? Nope it was a hawk. Returning back to Mahl-den, I was taken to get a delicious meatball sub in an area that was straight out of Goodfellas... Taking a much needed nap cause just 5 hours doesn't cut it anymore... And learning that I'm not following the rules of the nap. No chatting and no staring. I guess if I can't sleep neither can anyone else.
Top it off with a Red Sox victory on the ride home and no traffic. A perfect way to spend a hangover day.
Special thank you shout out to Melissa for the place to crash and a fun weekend in every aspect. And to all the girls and guys from the 'Hill. It was wonderful to see and catch up with everyone. We should do it more often. I'll have more pictures on my Flikr set once they become available/emailed to me. (Thanks to Melissa's 34 exposure digital camera for the opening shot.)

Let the remeniscing begin!! If any of us can remember everything from that night...
Ah, don't forget the highly heated and competitive ass-grabbing game. I think I may have won!
