Who ever wrote, "You can't go home again," was partly right. I really enjoyed my trip home, but is is always different than it was. My friends are busy with their own small children, careers, home care, and many have moved. We always do enjoy a good get together though. We always act like we did when we were stupid kids, at least for a time.
Case in point, is the time where my younger brother, Jason did an "interpretive dance" with sparklers at our friend Scotts on the 4th. Now he is in his 40s, and his hopping and jigging WAS funny. He was breathless, and sweating to beat all when he was finished, but we were howling. Then he said it was Louie's turn (Scott's nick name). To the chants of "Louie, Louie" Scott did his version of the "interpretive dance" with sparklers. He was in as bad a shape to be doing this as Jason. As he was catching his breath and laughing, I heard, "Damned people!" I started to laugh and shouted, "Those Damned Kyles!" Everyone laughed as Scott bellowed out, "Yeah! Damned Kyles!" Before collapsing in laughter.
Sad truth is, we all have some health issues going on, and behaving with these childish antics is wonderful for a time, then reality comes back like a brick wall. Still, I am glad to go back
