Brainiacs surviving the counter-culture to "geek" their way to glory. Cheerleaders peaking in high school. Musicians (including myself) reaching greater success years later. Friends and non-friends losing touch for 40 years, then getting a good laugh, or horrifying notice, about each other. Those of us who left Minnesota loooooong ago, wondering what happened to those who understandably appreciated staying (or returning).

Health is good, still look the same (only ancient, comparatively...). Wife died years ago, no new ones since (no hurry, either). Daughter's gorgeous, apple of Dad's eye. I'm planning on driving back from California for the day. See you all soon!
