Have to attend the dedication for the Clay County Veterans Memorial this afternoon. I was the consultant on the sculpture–a 12′ bronze eagle by Sandy Scott. Lovely fall day for it. Sure I’ll enjoy myself.

Later, a walk in the country with my wife. Incredible weather. Great things can happen in autumn fields with a blanket and a bottle of wine.

Last night was the last night of the high school reunion. Freaking riot. A former cheerleader dragged me onto the dance floor and kept rubbing her body against mine. Very amusing, but I more or less behaved. The best thing was seeing so many old friends. Some people change, some do not, but the love remains the same. After-party at Johnny Butler’s later on: ample beer, music, laughs. Stayed until 3:00, and by god that was enough.
