Homecoming 2007

Homecoming....a time for warm thoughts about going back to Sweetwater and seeing old friends.

If I go to Homecoming, I usually take the entire day off to travel and get a feel for the sites.

To me, going back home conjurs up lots of good memories. Hearing Clifford talk about the band trip to San Antonio in 1968...the story is always the same. Or going to the old Munden's parking lot and hanging out getting ready for the parade down Broadway. Seeing old classmates and wondering what happened to them. Wondering who rented cars to impress us this year. That sort of thing. I found a video clip on how to have a pleasant Homcoming:

Boy when I think about it, I bet Pat Walker's Mom would still be mad at me today for dropping a bowl of cinnamon down the floor furnace when all of us kids were invited to Pat's house for a party. And I never was good at asking a girl to a date especially at Homecoming. I guess that warrant didn't help much either.

So it doesn't matter if you are a student in high school or have been gone from Sweetwater for 38 years, Homecoming is always sort of hard to take. It's fun but the price you have to pay is pretty expensive.
