Catching up with people

quislibetI learned last night in conversation with a childhood friend who now teaches Latin at our old high school that the school cafeteria serves "freedom fries." He was sad about it.
He also told me that his Latin club kids won the prize for "most enigmatic" t-shirt design at the recent state Junior Classical League convention.
And a mutual friend of ours, I have discovered separately, runs a summer archaeological field school at Pompeii, which is way rad. I got an e-mail from him today, the first contact in about a decade.
Talking to Latin-teaching (as opposed to archaeology-teaching) friend last night, I again pondered the fact that alone of my quartet of close friends from high school I am the only one not to have created progeny. But the other three of them together (*) have seven kids, soon to be nine (unevenly distributed, with our pal Chip and his wife topping the scales at 3-going-on-4), so I think they have that aspect of things covered well enough without any contribution necessary from me, which is most agreeable.
(*) Or "as a group," I should say, to avoid implying that they had the kids, well, *together* together.
By the way, thanks for all the anniversarial well-wishing.
