Sometimes dreams really do come true.

I occasionally dream about going back to my old grade school and hanging out in the halls, visiting the classrooms, and seeing how things have changed. Now I get to do it for real! There is going to be a benefit/awards ceremony honoring Vince Gill (we went to grade school together - he was a grade ahead of me, but we were on the same YMCA baseball team). The tickets (because they want to revamp the old auditorium and fix up the school) are $500 a pop, but a buddy of mine from back then called me and said another friend of ours has done quite well and bought 20 ticket, of which one would be for me if I agreed to show up. I'm not a big country music fan, but I am definitely going because most of our old baseball team and many of our classmates will be there. Our baseball coach is going, too.

Well, of course I haven't changed! At least, not much. My hair is longer and is turning gray. But I'm still a 12-yr-old at heart. I think I'll take a kickball with me and see if any of the old gang is up for a game.

I never really expected this dream to become reality. I've wondered, from time to time, what the old school looks like on the inside, but I never thought I'd be going back. I think some of my friends never moved away from that area and they have or had kids going there.

That sounds really neat. It's awesome to have that kind of reunion.Enjoy it, chances like that don't come by often.

Yeah, I'm more excited about seeing my old classmates than the music part of this event. I may take a baseball and have the whole team sign it, including Vince.
