Wow. I am actually blogging. This is like listening in on other people’s conversations. I feel like I am part spy and part creepy stalker. The other exciting thing about blogging is that it is sort of like getting e-mail from real people. Most of the e-mail I get is from institutions highlighting how truly unsuccessful I am. I get notices on how to re-finance my mortgage, how to re-grow my hair, or that I need viagra. This, of course, leads to ethical dilemmas: do I take half of a tablet so I won’t tinkle on my new loafers or do I take a whole pill and risk having a four hour erection. What to do? I wouldn’t call a doctor but I might call my friends and brag.
I am so excited about the reunion that I am going to have my back waxed. (Gross!!! The stuff about the erection was iffy, but that back hair reference went way over the line…Do you now see why nobody e-mails?) I am even going to blow off my dungeons and dragons club that weekend. You might think that is a small sacrifice but I was going to get to be the dungeon master that week. I will bring some 20 sided dice if you guys really want to get wild.
That is a great picture of the reunion committee on the website. Ralph, I always knew the ladies considered you to be eye candy (aren’t all the fellas from Clarksville?), but have you gotten taller... or were you standing on a box? I have even more reasons to look up to you. OK, OK, I have height issues. I got to be an extra in the fireworks scene in The Shire in the Lord of the Rings. I had to shave my feet though. I was angry that they didn't shave my back. (Gross, again...that's two inappropriate back hair references).
Ralph, Stuart, Julie and Martha, I really appreciate all that you are doing to bring us together. You have always been selfless servant leaders. Thank you for everything.
Peace Be With You,
Frank V. Cooper

Hey, Frank, old buddy: Familar with the concept of "TMI"? (OK, the Viagra comment: hey, fair enough, but that stuff about waxing your back hair--geez,kinda person and a bit gross, dude. Besides, we're trying to get folks to JOIN us for Reunion, not freak 'em out, eh?)
Blogging and blog-punditry aside, I hope to be able to join you all this fall--yes, you WILL have to doff your shirt now, Mr. Cooper, seeing that we're lowering the bar so early in this Reunion campaign (no comments about dropping trou, as such would not be prudent at this juncture)--and thanks in advance to Ralph, Martha, Julie and the whole team bringing our 25th Reunion to us all. Cheers, folks, and Vaya Con Dios.-- Jack H. (Nick) McCall
