Meeting my Elementary and High School friends thrilled me no end when I planned for my vacation.  Afterall, it was about  38 years after my Elementary and 34 years after High School graduation that I have not seen them.  I never had the chance to see most of them except for few classmates I bumped with on occassions that I was in town. 

One thing that I have noticed, most men wear caps (or hats) whenever they showed up to our get -together.  It is a consicous effort to conceal something underneath.   Yes, to be brutally frank, they are losing their hair and balding fast.  Well, we don’t mind actually but somehow, they wanted to hide it from us.  But that’s their choice, what can we do?  

The women classmates of mine  on the otherhand are always on guard of their big tummies and wide hips.  A throw pillow or their own bag is used to hide the unsightly bulge when seated.  I was no exception to that.   

At our age, signs of aging is inevitable.   Let us admit to ourselves and let’s drink to that!  Cheers!
