Well, my high school reunion was indeed an emotional packed evening. I
think I tried to put on airs and I failed miserably. I tried to pull off a
Barney but it just didn't work.
When they asked me where I was living, I told them that after I retired from
teaching I bought myself a nice ranch. Well, not exactly a lie. We did buy
a small three bedroom ranch on a corner lot. Then one of my former
girlfriends came up to me. She had gained an enormous amount of weight and
when she came up to me she whispered in my ear, "Just think Kenny, this all
could have been yours." I was speechless and didn't know what to say. So I
asked myself, "What would Barney do?" And then it came to me. Poetry. So
I whispered in her ear, "Tubby tubby two by four, can't get through the
kitchen door." I guess I should have chosen something different but that
was just something I remembered from my childhood. I think I read it in one
of those childish classics. Needless to say, the evening wasn't going too
well. When we were finishing dinner they gave us dessert my wife asked what
it was. It was Boston Cream Pie. Well, my wife said she had never heard of
that, and of course I had to tell her that she had indeed heard of it as it
was the new pie that came out after Boston became a city. But the night
wasn't a total loss. I was chosen to be on the committee to help plan our
50th in 2014, and let me tell you it is going to be one real "bobby
dazzler."
