Today I received this in my inbox.

I’ve been a free member on classmates.com for a long time, but today I closed my account. They were always on the brink of being useful, but unless you “upgraded” to the gold level, you quickly ran into a dead end. Today I wanted to add a link to this site, but that’s against their terms of service. How to remove my profile was hidden pretty good, too. Adios, classmates.com–I hardly knew ya.

As for the reunion itself, I’m feeling a little anxiety, to be honest. Twenty years is a long time. The last one was OK and I love visiting with people, but I’d almost rather just have a big picnic BBQ at Como Park, play some golf and have a nice dinner afterwards. Somehow these things never work out that way, though. Of course, if you’re not willing to volunteer, you can’t complain, right?
