Subject: Sirago Reunion

In a week from this Thursday, I'm headed to Cleveland for my 1st reunion in 8 years. It's been that long since my stroke. Were gonna visit the COD and the Rock n Roll hall of Fame. It's a 7.5 hour drive according to Google. I'd rather drive then have to deal with the TSA and all their bullcrap, and I'm not a fan of driving that many hours in one day. But when I considered, a 2 hour drive to the airport. Another 2 hours waiting for the flight, then the flight...about 1.5-2 hours the drive doesn't seem too bad.
Looking forward to seeing some of the enginemen I shared part of my life with. I find it amazing that these shipmates have a special hold on me these many years later and that I want to see them yet again. We're old men now, but when we get together, at least in the last few reunions I attended, it was like the years fell away and we were young again. At least in the telling of no s**tters.

I Used to drive to Cleveland after I got sick of flying there. Made many a drive there with Turnpike all the way. The tolls are a bit high but the back roads are not in the cards. Have a good reunion.
