in the days of my youth and meteorology complaints
-visited the ol' stompin' ground tonight. my alma mater...southern lehigh high school. they've built on a huge addition there over the past 2 years, and this was the first i have seen it. it is nice, but the old part still looks exactly - and hauntingly - the same. i do not miss high school at all. i would venture to say that it is the biggest joke and farce ever pulled in history of the united states. i dont really know what i mean by that. i guess lately...college is the time where you realize you were never as old as your thought you were going through school, and you still arent as old as you think you are, although you are getting old because younger kids were born in years you specifically remember and they give you blank stares when you talk about all the tv shows and toys you remember. when you are in high school, it seems like a big deal, but in the big scheme of things, it is nothing. i guess that's what im getting at.
-besides the high school, it was good to see some old friends and laugh.
-so there's a snow storm hitting us tonight. up to this point, the snow of the season that i have experienced has been quite anti-climactic. usually the first snow is a big deal...but it's been unanticipated and hasnt amounted to much, leaving me unsatisfied. i suppose the past few winters we have gone without snow until late december or early january, so to get some in mid-november without warning is kinda, disappointing, perhaps. all this to say, that, despite the current snow not being the most exciting either, it was a very pleasant drive on the way home tonight with the snow falling. it is coming down fast and we'll see what tomorrow holds.
-im off to bed. happy thanksgiving eve.
