Reunion
The custom of college reunions is, when you think about it, a very strange habit. I keep waiting for William Hurt (The Big Chill) to walk in and deliver the punch line: a long time ago we knew each other for a short while.
I went to Swarthmore a very long time ago, and the short while was remarkably intense. We didn't live well, but we worked too hard and loved too much and this weekend I've been sitting on lawns with old, old friends. Good times.
