...unremittingly hilarious, deeply moving, a mind-bending contortion of past and present and, also, irritating as hell.
Enjoyed it vastly more than the four years itself.
One of my classmates, Joe McDermott (D) is in the Washington State legislature, running for King County Council for District 8 and I'll be proud to vote for him. Another is a councilwoman for a culturally dead tiny Seattle suburb and she resembled Sarah Palin in her lack of intellectual or cultural acumen. (She pointedly lied to me and I called her on it.)
Discovered two of my classmates are incarcerated for child molestation.
More than anything, I enjoyed reconnecting with those with whom I was closest and still love.
Writing my essay on the evening right now for The Nervous Breakdown.
