Scarborough

Reunion
Originally uploaded by jmsmall2005.

Monday, August 6: A few months ago, we found a little Barenaked Ladies diddy called "Scarborough" on Youtube, and in its honor we listened to BNL on our drive through Jason's old neighborhood. Scarborough is not only the home town BNL's Eddie, but it is also where Jason spent junior high and high school. As we listened to "Grade Nine," we drove by Woburn CI, where Jason spent his own Grade Nine, as well as his family's old home and the church his dad pastored there. It was a drive full of memories, and I have heard so much about all these places. After our trip down memory lane, we took to the Scarborough Bluffs, where we ate a little picnic and I touched the Great Lakes for the first time.

After our bout on the Bluffs, we headed to Deb and Clayton's house for a little Woburn reunion. Many of Jason's high school friends who are in the area joined us for an evening full of "remember whens." We bbq'd and played some games, and by the end of the night the old yearbooks had come out. My favorite moment was when someone started reading the "senior quotes" that each of them had put in their yearbooks. As one of them said, "Ah, we were so wise then." Makes me a bit nervous about pulling out my own old yearbook...
