So I went to my 8th high school reunion last night. I'm back in Boston for my youngest brother's graduation from high school, and I had a spare night so I went to my reunion. Since it was an off year, I didn't think there would be a whole lot of people from my class. I was partially right, there weren't massive numbers, but enough to make things interesting. I haven't seen a few of these people in ages.

I must way it certainly was nice to see my friend Marc, who just graduated from medical school last weekend. Doctor Marc... I've known Marc since kindergarten. Phenomenal friend. Also my friend Sarah, who is as loud and vivacious and bubbly as ever: she's doing commercial real estate in Boston. Much more interesting was talking with a lot of people who, while we were in high school, probably never said a word to me.

And that thing about picking up accents? Sarah and Brendan have the worst Boston accents in the world. And by the end of the night, I had strong hints of one too. :)

So Matthew graduates this morning. I'm excited for him, and I can't believe that he's taking this step. First off, I don't know what my parents are going to do... But beyond that, just wow. My baby brother is all grown up and graduating from high school! Congratulations to him.
