I really envy my Mom.

She's going to go to her 60th year class reunion, she has friends still alive, from the class she graduated with in a small northern Wisconsin town.

I graduated in a small Wisconsin town, along with 78 other kids, who either hated me or ignored me.
I haven't seen any of them since.

I was either ignored or bullied, and was really happy to get OUT of that lunatic asylum called a High School.

Not bullied, just so squirrelly never a part of an "in" or almost "in" group. Knew I belonged in college since at least 10th grade.

And indeed, this late bloomer found the best years, the best life-long friends and a fantastic spouse there.

Yes, I do have a bit of envy for those who found the same during those anguished years called high school, but we each have to search and find our true mileu that brings out our best.

No doubt it was the same for you.

Even my one moment of triumph, when I beat a guy from Kohler in air hockey in the Homecoming tournaments, it was ignored.

Instead the football team got all the attention even though they got clobbered by Kohler's football team.
