Ahh … the reunion. It was fun and I'm glad I went. If you ever get the chance, you should go to your high school reunion. You won't regret it.
It amazed me to see how many people looked basically the same, only with better hair. There were far fewer mullets in the crowd than the last time this group was together and the girls' hair? It was visibly lacking in both height and volume. This is a good thing. All in all, we looked danged spiffy.
My only complaint about the reunion was that I didn't get to chat with everyone. Several people came and went before I had an opportunity to catch up with them.
Phooey.
That really irked me, so I came up with a plan. And it's a good one, too.
My Plan for Future Reunions (feel free to use it for your next get together): Set up the reunion like a speed dating session.
I know what you're thinking: What? A speed dating session? Seriously? What? Wait … are you high?
Yep. A speed dating session. Nope. I'm not high, just a visionary with a genius idea. Oh it's a genius idea.
The basic premise is that you sit down and chat with one person for fifteen minutes. Then a bell sounds signaling the end of your fifteen minutes and you're off to chat with the next person for fifteen minutes. You do this until you've talked to everyone because no one can leave until the final bell sounds.
Think about it. You get to talk to everyone and (more importantly) you don't get your time monopolized by some ding-bat selling time shares in the Condor for forty-five minutes and miss out on chatting with someone you really wanted to hug and (quite literally) haven't seen in twenty years.
It's a genius idea, people. Genius.
