College events, and the need to reconnect

I'm going to a college alumni event one of these days, possibly today. I'd volunteered to be on the reunion committee and help out with alumni activities, but then Covid happened. Things got waylaid, I lost my mojo and took us all a few years to regain our orientation and see where we might want to go next. Turns out I was mostly on the right path, save for some great insights and now I'm four years older but maybe eight years wiser, so it's a net gain. Or so we must tell ourselves to not get lost in the madness of it all!

Back to the topic, it'll be fun. I'll get to see who from my school lives around here, hopefully make some contacts worth reaching out to. WC is already here, but you can't reach out to just one friend, gotta have more people around. Or friends in general, of which I have very few as of late... This will be an opportunity for me to socialize, to professionally network, and catch-up with folks I might know, which has like quite a fat chance since I knew very few people to begin with, but wouldn't it be so great if all the people I knew showed up and we had this nice gathering and a party and oh so much fun!?

Oh well, that may or may not happen, but I'll try my best to have a good time. Meet people, mingle, mingle.
