Hehe,
Alright......not just breakfast but I wanted to write about the coolest ever breakfast I had while in Toronto.
I invited one of my high school classmates and my favouritest high school teacher out for breakfast and it happened. It was so cool....because I hadn't seen my teacher in probably 10 years.....and had only recently got back in touch with him....he was way more then my teacher in high school....more like a mentor and a coach......and probably a bit of a parental figure.....when I decided to go to grad school I remember thinking....wow I wish I could tell Mr. Kelly...he would be so proud....that kind of parental figure.
Neither Perry, high school friend, nor I could figure out what to call Mr. Kelly....so we blundered between John and Mr. Kelly the time we were there.....he signs his e-mail JJK to us....and well, that would just be weird to say.
But besides that we had a great talk and a lot of fun....aside from the realization that most everyone in our graduating class is married...and most with children.....except for Perry and I.....and after beng amid family and the pressures and questions of engagement or marriage.....it was an unsettling discovery.
I love staying in touch with people.....but it is so hard to do....it takes so much time and effort....but I am certainly very happy to have met with my classmate and teacher.....I believe the plan is to do it annually....and since I am the planner....I guess I will make sure it gets done :)
Happy New Year!!
