Alabama Chapter of the Class of '59

I receive an email from Phillip yesterday with attached pictures and said that they finally had another meeting.  The meeting was held at the Top of the River in Guntersville, AL and it was good to get together again.  Below are a couple of pictures of the meeting.  The first picture is taken inside the restaurant.  The person on the left you may not know is Dickie’s stepson – Clay Abrahm.  The second picture is taken outside after we ate.

I have been in many places, but I've never been in Cahoots. Apparently, you can't go alone. You have to be in Cahoots with someone.

I've also never been in Cognito. I hear no one recognizes you there. I have, however, been in Sane. They don't have an airport; you have to be driven there. I have made several trips there, thanks to my friends, family and work. 

I would like to go to Conclusions, but you have to jump, and I'm not too much on physical activity anymore. I have never been in Doubt. That is a sad place to go, and I try not to visit there. 

I've been in Flexible, but only when it was very important to stand firm. Sometimes I'm in Capable, and I go there more often as I'm getting older. One of my favorite places to be is in Suspense! It really gets the adrenalin flowing and pumps up the old heart! At my age I need all the stimuli I can get! 

And more and more I think of the Here After. Several times a day, in fact, I enter a room and think “What am I here after?”
