We alternated between “R&D’s” and “Bill’s place” for the rest of the evening. I kept seeing folks I haven’t seen in years, but none from high school really, until I saw a buddy I had been in drama class with way back when. He was married now to, of all people, a guy from San Luis High School that actually graduated the year we did as well. They were living in San Francisco and were doing quite well for each other. I was overjoyed as my friend was a great guy and deserved a decent man. Plus as his significant other was a frop hound as well, he was alright with me.
I saw people here and there that I recognized, I had been in grade school with some of them, but they were still stuck in their areas of comfort and were unable to break out.
So I hung out and watched as everyone got more and more inebriated, and then I went home till the next day.
The next day I woke up and started cleaning sticks and seeds from my interplanetary frop and watching movies with the kids. My wifeykins was working the studying angle so she was just a little stressed, but handling it ok. I spent the day cleaning frop and getting my kid fix before I hosed off, shaved a bit, and put on a clean tye-dye. I was thinking I would put on the dress jacket I had, but as I didn’t have the strength to stretch it across my bulk, I just went with the tye-dye. But I did bite the bullet and wear pants. And a different earring.
