The Dynamics are Different - Yet The Same

Road Trip

What if you could step into a time machine and revisit 60 years ago? 

What would it be like seeing your college roommate after almost 60 years? I am about to find out. We were roommates throughout my engineering school term and got along well; like the brother I never had. He was from Pennsylvania and I from a smalltown about an hour-and-a-half from campus. Our campus was never a hot bed of activity on the weekends, so on many weekends he tagged along for home cooking. My grandmother was a great cook and loved having us. The summer of '67 we did a road trip and attended The Worlds Fair Expo in Montreal.

We had fun together and had a group of fellow engineering students to do stuff with on campus during the week. Kind of a work hard / study hard / let's get a beer group.  

After graduation, careers and family seem to get in the way. However, we did stay close, checking in always with the promise to get together.  

This weekend we are!

I will be attending his church X'mas holiday music event Sunday and staying over with he and his wife for the weekend. The plan now is to drive back Monday or Tuesday. I did the big “Rhonda reveal" by e-mail / blog and he stated no-problem. This is an area we had never explored or discussed.

Although, while in college I did participate in a fashion/beauty contest done up beautifully by my then girlfriend, to become wife. My first time dressed in public. WOW! Many years passed before I was ever out again.     

This should be an interesting weekend. We are not getting younger. If one waits putting off reminiscing, the conversation could become one-sided. 

This weekend - The dynamics are so different yet so the same. 

PS: OMG - What to wear?
