Ed Mateo's Despedida

(April 16, 2005) I get a pleasant surprise in the yahoogroups email about a former high school mate leaving for Houston, Texas. He's hosting a gathering for the batch, most of whom I haven't seen since John Travolta did his moves in Saturday Night Fever. I wonder how they all look now. Will I even recognize them? I had to be there. There was one small thing though...this group didn't like me back in the day. I even fought like crazy with some of them. Oh well, we're grown ups now. I'll just show up and give them all a hug.

Coming from the Himaya Concert in Metro-Walk, I was late. But they were there...I mean faces I had to piece together for recognition...lots of gray hair (like me), a few inches in the tummy, but it all came back. It suddenly seemed like high school once again...only this time, they seem to like me better...moi aussi!

Ed, you da man!
