ok. i am happy now.
I called an old friend of mine who i haven't spoken to since 1984 who then hooked me up with another old friend. whew. wow.

here's the deal.
I tracked down Bruno who now lives in San Diego. We used to hang when we lived in Tunisia. What do I remember about Bruno. hmmm.. Bruno was a little wiry guy who drew comics and was fast. He had a great laugh which, when I heard it tonight, transported me back to 8th grade.

he is now married and has a two year old daughter. he does EEGs on drosophilia (sp? fruitflies, baby). I try to imagine him grown up but all i can envision is him at 14 playing soccer.

Bruno had Lorena's phone #. Lorena was another of our classmates. Lorena used to tease me when I was the worlds worst altarboy (shameful nicksecret, shhhhhhh). She and Glaucia Paula used to make faces at me during communion to make me laugh. Afterwards we would run around the garden behind the church and have rotten orange fights with all the other kids who didn't want to be at church. Lorena hails from Sweden and Mexico and pronounced cherokee, chur o key. stress on the key. so i called up and suprised her. Lorena is just about due to have her first baby. Everybody is so grown up.

so of course we are talking about having a little west coast reunion of sorts. I can't wait to see what develops.
