Grade 12 1968

What is it about Reunions?

So as I wash the dishes, my synapses spark as I the rythyms of the Beatles belt out from the iphone , ipod future.

.....For I have got....another girl ...another girl who will love me to the end, through thick and thin she will always be my friend...

Flashes of high school romance, November nights, cold and no money and no car, but oh such passion.

.....HELP! I Need somebody, not just anybody. Help You know I need someone...HEEELP!....

Ah the movie - a year or so after "Hard day's Night". 

Back at that time I was in grade six or seven. 

Hard Days Night was in black and white.

And I luv her,,,,

A love like ours...

Could never die, as long as I ,

Have you near me....

Oh my God, I still get goose bumps even humming this song to myself.

It is not just the Beatles, or their ballad love songs.

It was my emerging young male self.

The young romantic.

The willingness to fall in love at what ever the cost.

That was the time of girls and guys roaming in the hallways of high-school.

The girls in the upper grades looking so untouchable and so goddess-like.

The guys up there, my heroes on the Chateauguay High-School basketball team.

Or the bad guys with duck tailed hair style just as the Beatle cuts began to take off. They had taps on their shoes and cigarette packs in their rolled up sleeves.

High-School Reunion while a nostalgic touch-stone is much more to me than going back to the good old days before being a grown up.

High-school Reunion is a step back in time...one last ...time.

Magic.
