blast from the past

[brainwane]

I was stumbling around the English Wikipedia category "ABC News personalities" today to try to remember Bill Kristol's name, and found out that someone I went to high school with has a Wikipedia biography and has won an Emmy. Goodness! I remember her being nice in high school and I remember a piece she wrote for the literary magazine about dealing with her mom's lupus. I'm glad she is doing well.

I suppose she might be one of the two most famous people to ever graduate from our high school, the other being one of the cofounders of Pavement. Also I wonder what it would be like to be on Facebook, just for a day, to more easily find out stuff like this.

Funny story -- as a kid in a no-alcohol household, attending a school with a zero-tolerance policy on booze, I did not learn until AFTER my attendance that my high school was named after a wine grape.

I shall continue to avoid FB!
