Hi everyone, on this drizzling Saturday, at least here. I've got great news, for me anyway, Vicki has let me back on the Gavett Blog! It's hard being insane and harder yet when I'm not able to express it through my caustic, dry wit. There is better news, for you readers, I'm on a long(lifetime) probationary period with a short, short leash. I've been given only thirty complaints and then I'm silenced forever, at least on this blog. Don't fret now, the complaints will add up fast and if Nancy is doing the adding, oh well..... If not I give myself somewhere between two and six months before I'm banished for good, that's if I really watch myself. So here goes....

Vicki, think back to when you where in high school and looking at "older" graduates nearing their time to celebrate a 50th year reunion from high school. You being the senior member of our seven kids and having a better system of completing your years in school than your next younger sibling, have only five more years until "it" happens. Looking back maybe you shouldn't have skipped those early years and/or applied yourself in your studies. If you had worked it right or as in my case not worked you could still have almost ten more years, but, what's done is done. At this point in time, how much younger do you feel and look, at least to yourself, then what you remember the "older" folks looking like back then. See, now you don't feel as bad.  I'll keep that relieved feeling short lived. But, and it is a sad but, what do suppose this years graduating class think of the former graduates approaching their 50th reunion?

Wow, it worked! The sun is shining. Thanks
