http://www.indy.com/posts/7610 en-us Firebelly Too bad you didn't use the "I'm in arbitrage" route - it always seems to work. Almost as well as con ops - noone actually say CIA if they work for the CIA do they? hmmm unless they work for the Culinary Institute of America. YOu could have gotten an air-tan ;) Fri, 23 May 2008 01:11:25 -0400 http://www.indy.com/posts/7610#comment_22808 http://www.indy.com/posts/7610#comment_22808 caralyn Thanks gang - I decided to go the CIA Operative route and endeavored to keep my sunglasses on throughout the reunion. God it was painful - and oddly enough - it WAS as if everyone had just swelled. Surreal.

And I don't regret it for one minute. I reconnected with a friend who introduced me to my husband. The reunion was a bore, but my mate is the bomb.

I can't even remember the names of 99% of the people I went to high school with. I don't really remember most I went to college with either. I think too many people live in the past. One of my brothers still identifies all his old high school buddies as his best friends...even though he sees them maybe once every 5 years. I think he needs to move on and make some new friends, especially since he lives out of state.

I was a traveler and adventerer and am now working a 9-5 job, married and will soon be a stay at home mom. They'll never believe me!

Just let the festivities ride on out from that.

Like that crazy night you spent with William Shatner in Monte Carlo. "Set phasers on drunk!"

Basically tell them that you would love to fill them in on the last few years, but it's a matter of national security. Tell them you will let them know at the 25 year reunion if the info has been declassified by then. That ruse is especially useful if you just don't want to talk to people. Option B is Cirque de Soleil. You could pretend to travel the world as some kind of performer. They always wear costumes, so it's not like anyone would have recognized you.
