Has It Really Been 20 Years?

It has been 20 years since I had the privilege to exit the high school graduation stage and enter upon another journey that would take me to some very unique and interesting places. I have had the fortune to live overseas in some great places, Bahrain, The U.K., Greece, Italy and I enjoyed them all to varying degrees of interest. I have seen the Pyramids at Giza, Safaried through the Suez Canal, walked through the gates of the Parthenon, stood in awe at the Temple of Knossos, spit on the Eiffel Tower (I don't care much for the French) and reverently walked the path to Golgotha. Not too bad to see that all before the age of 25. I can't much complain about my life other than it seems to be going by way too fast. I figured that life after high school there would be college, but my grades didn't afford me scholarships. So other than work in jobs that I just wasn't suited for, I joined the Navy and saw the world. I lived and saw a lifetimes worth of, well living I suppose, during my 6 years of active duty service. Now I look back in somewhat of a nostalgic fascination and wonder about the rest of my graduating class from 20 years ago. Recently I took the leap into the digital realm to search for some of those people in hopes to see what they have been into since our glory days. I actually have only spoken to 1 from back in the day and he was able to fill me in about alot. Many are still living in the same local area, an then there are a few, like myself, who have moved away from the place I called home. Hopefully I will be able to reconnect with some more and find out all about their life the last 20 years. Thinking back, I was voted most versatile and I always thought that was such a lame title, but looking back and recalling the events that have shaped my life, it really isn't such a bad title after all. It is much better than having the most likely to succeed title and not being able to live up to that expectation.
