Day 24: Reunion reflection


Oh, Binghamton. How many good times have we had? I returned yet again this weekend to send off a good friend, the last of the news crew that thrived on cocktails, dancing and drama. :) And, while some of the faces have changed and the thrills were a bit more muted, the memories live on. Having been a college commuter, I missed out on the "campus experience." But, thanks to several people I met at WBNG, who I'll call friends for life, I got my chance at it and more. Maybe there were more than a few inappropriate moments, hangovers that lasted til Wednesday, ridiculous dance moves on a light up dance floor and too much taco dip, but holy crap did we have fun! It gave me my start in what I hope becomes a long career in television production, but it also taught me to open up, let people in and have a good time. I learned to laugh and not be afraid to look silly and to ALWAYS take pictures...they're what get you through the next morning as you nurse a headache and sip Gatorade. So, thank you for the memories and the people I met with whom I'll make more. We may be scattered across the country, but we always manage to find ways to get together. And, maybe when we do, it's a little harder to recuperate these days as the bones get creakier, but I know I can always count on you all for a good time. :)
