I had a dinner party for four of my high school friends and their spouses. One spouse was out of town and before I knew that, I invited my gay husband Michael. He has met all of them at various parties I have had and I really didn't want to be dateless yet again.

What a wonderful evening. It is amazing that the five of us have all remained friends. Not day to day friends but ... friends for life kind of friend show have know you since back in the day.

I made chicken cacciatore and more than double than I needed but htat is me. I really thought people would eat more but I overdid the appetizers I guess. But how can you not have appetizers? And we all hung out in the kitchen gnoshing and drinking. I finally didn't make myself too crazy and kept it simple. I am proud of myself.

Four of us were on the newspaper and one was on the yearbook. We all loved high school, were very involved and yet partied with the best of them. I feel so sad when I hear people who hated high school. I don't want to go back and I don't live like I am still in high school. It is just that the time was magical.

Much of the talk was about politics and sex. Back and forth. I think most of range from middle of the road democrat to commie.

How lucky am I to have met this people when I was 15 and now at 45 still count them as treasures.

And so it goes ...
