Countdown: Five Days
The countdown is at five short days until our THS Ten Year. Are you going to be there? Ticket sales continue here on our blog for only $30 per person. This is a once-a-decade opportunity. We hope to see you at the Basque Center later this week!
Here's a joke for the day:
It was the end of the school year, and a kindergarten teacher was receiving gifts from her pupils.
The florist's son handed her a gift. She shook it, held it overhead, and said, "I bet I know what it is. Flowers." "That's right!" the boy said, "But, how did you know?" "Oh, just a wild guess," she said.
The next pupil was the sweet shop owner's daughter. The teacher held her gift overhead, shook it, and said, "I bet I can guess what it is. A box of sweets." "That's right, but how did you know?" asked the girl. "Oh, just a wild guess," said the teacher. The next gift was from the son of the liquor storeowner. The teacher held he package overhead, but it was leaking. She touched a drop off the leakage with her finger and put it to her tongue. "Is it wine?" she asked. "No," the boy replied, with some excitement. The teacher repeated the process, tasting a larger drop of the leakage. "Is it champagne?" she asked. "No," the boy replied, with more excitement. The teacher took one more big taste before declaring, "I give up, what is it?" With great glee, the boy replied, "It's a puppy!" SURPRISE!

Countdown to THS Ten Year: Six Days
One week from today our class will renew our bonds at the Basque Center. Will you be there? Buy your ticket today.
Today, we get to hear some perks of growing old:
Your supply of brain cells is finally down to a manageable size.
Your secrets are safe with your friends because they can't remember them either.
Your joints are more accurate meteorologists than the National Weather Service.
People call at 9 PM and ask, "Did I wake you?"
People no longer view you as a hypochondriac.
There is absolutely nothing left to learn the hard way.
Things you buy now definitely won't wear out.
You can eat dinner at 4 P.M.
You can live without intimacy but not without your glasses.
You enjoy hearing about other peoples operations.
You get into heated arguments about Social Security.
You have a party and the neighbors don't even realize it.
You no longer think of speed limits as a challenge, except for the minimum speed allowed.
You quit trying to hold your stomach in, no matter who walks into the room.
You sing along with elevator music.
Your eyes won't get very much worse.
Your investment in health insurance is finally beginning to pay off.

Seven Days Until We Meet Again
We've made it an entire decade since our graduation. Come celebrate with us! Get your ticket for our THS Ten Year today.
Today's joke is another top ten list. Here are the top ten reasons to make it to our reunion.
10. You've not thought about getting into shape since graduation.
9. You want to try to dance one more time before your next hip replacement.
8. You want to squash 10 years of rumors about you...and possibly start new and better ones.
7. The reunion committee will NOT stop contacting until you do show.
6. You don't have to ask for the keys to the family car or sneak out a window to be with your friends.
5. You can feel better knowing you're not the only who's been married or divorced.
4. To see what color the girls' hair is now and to see how many of the guys still have hair.
3. There will be no swimsuit competition.
2. You don't have to lie about your age. We know how old you are.
And the NUMBER ONE reason to attend your 10th class reunion is:
1. You can re-connect with old friends, make connections with new friends, and re-capture the joys of youth. The reunion won't be the same without you.
