October 3 - Ties


40th Reunion for Springfield (Delaware County, PA) High School Class of '75 --


Amazing! --


Thought we'd all be dead by now, though, sadly,


some are.


But,


for


the


rest,


an


afternoon


(small group)


and


evening


(large)


of


happy


interconnectedness,


first at


Don Gosnay's


comfortable


New Jersey


compound,


and then,


across the Walt Whitman,


to


the


local


County


Club


for


four-or-so hours of mass merriment and intrigue,


capped by a nightcap at Media's


Plumstead Inn.


 
Before


this,


up


early


with


George and


Bette,


making


the


way


back,


via


476


South


past


many


familiar


sights,


and


95,


contouring


below


and east


of Philadelphia,


to the


Ben Franklin


and


beyond. 


After,


return to the folks,


communally reading the racy bits of Geoffrey Chaucer's Canterbury Tales, before, astoundingly, the early-morning trek, re-encountering the Airport.  High back home 84, on the 225th day of summer (146 days 80+), locally stuck at 55, though, mercifully, no rain, despite certain predictions...
