Reunions

Night running deserves a quiet night - channeling a high school favorite -REM - HP06 had forgotten how much she loves running at night and in the cold (although all that pie, turkey and stuffing is weighing her down). HP06 almost tripped running across the bridge along Connecticut Ave. going towards Dupont because the view was distracting (as were the tunes on the iPod).

HP06 was a victim of her 10th-year high school reunion this holiday weekend. Purposely avoiding the actual reunion, HP06 instead met a friend at a new local bar outside Philly for a few drinks. A couple drinks and a hour later, the bar door opened and in flowed a hoard of people who all looked vaguely, and uncomfortably, familiar - it seems her high school reunion had made its way to the bar. Now, in a town with several functioning bars how did they chose the one inhabited by HP06? After several more drinks, a few shots, and many hugs later, HP06 made her way out of the bar and back home. HP06's bar choice must have been fate because for one who so purposely avoided the actual reunion, HP06 had a really great time playing remember when (hence the REM reference at the beginning - it was a high school theme song) and even gave her number to the boy she secretly loved in high school (she won't hear from him since he lives in another city but he does have it!).
