Thanks to the magic of the Internet and Facebook, I recently got back in touch with a friend from junior high school. Rena wasn't just one of those people you connect with who you had a class with or rode the bus with, she and I were good friends. We ate lunch together pretty much everyday, hung in the same circles and saw each other outside of school. We also did synchronized swimming together, where she kicked ass and I pretty much spent the time getting screamed at to point my toes three times a week. She was my first junior high school friend, having met her at orientation thanks to my then-embarrassingly extroverted mother. On the first day of school, knowing no one, I latched on to Rena and she was kind enough to let me hang.
We hadn't seen each other probably since junior high school graduation or sometime soon after. A few weeks ago, I saw she was on Facebook and I excitedly asked her to be my friend ... again. Today, her family and ours met at Polliwog park for some bagels, duck feeding and running around. It was wonderful to see her and meet her family, and we look forward to hanging again soon.

Egan and Anwen were sweet and willing subjects for Kevin, who is not use to cooperative kids who hold still.
