Forty!

A week from today I'm flying to New Mexico for my 40th high school reunion! This defies sense on so many levels that I don't even know what to expect to expect - but I guess that's part of why one goes to reunions. I was back for the 10th, back in the twentieth century, and again for the 20th, back when the new millennium was new, but haven't been back to one since, though I was aware of the 30th. "We're not young anymore," one of my classmates (who's not coming) observed wryly. I've suspected that for a while now: we'll see!
