Reconnect Project: What I’ve learned from the LHC
Last night, Cathy joined me for dinner with my old college gang, the
Lonely Hearts Club (LHC). I’m really not sure why that was our name,
given that most of the folks in the ‘club’ weren’t really lonely (we
had each other!), but it was a joy to see them again.
What I’ve learned from my LHC friends:
From Toni:
I’ve learned that observers oftentimes have more fun. I’ve learned that
the goodness of good people will inevitably shine through. I believe
that good people will be richly rewarded.
From Anj:
I’ve learned that people who are happy with their work look younger.
I’ve learned that working to make people’s lives better does really
enhance a person’s self-worth. I’ve learned that long-distance
relationships are possible and can work if the two parties can admit
their security in each other.
From Erik: I’ve learned that, at day’s end, love that society classifies as either unconditional or taboo, is still love.
From Bok: I’ve learned that the government does have its little
merits. I’ve learned that intelligence and confidence does make a woman
sexy. And I’ve learned that past issues with a friend - real or
imagined - don’t have to fester; if a person is truly a friend, that
person and you will get along. Famously.

You and Caths look great together talaga. It was wonderful seeing you guys again. It’s been 6 months!!! The last time we saw each other was in Rowie’s wedding, right?
It was a fantastic evening except for one thing. We didn’t have a group picture taken. Grrrrrrr!

You’re absolutely right! How could we forget that?!
Oh, well, I guess another get-together is in the offing!
