We eat thistles for our breakfast...Piedmont high school 20 year reunion

 This July marked the 20th year since I graduated high school...in some ways it seems to have gone by in flash...but in others it has seemed like a lifetime...

 

 Ii would be lying if I said that I didn't get my hair done and worked out for months preceding my reunion...

 I'm grateful for the reunion for several reasons...it brought me to Crossfit and it has been a very reflective year because of it...it was surreal seeing this handful of people whom you have known since you were in 3rd grade...Max will be in 3rd grade next year...although I haven't seen most of these people either since high school, or the 10 year reunion, it was amazing how comfortable it felt...easy like Sunday morning...which only happens when you have known someone since before puberty and all the way through it until young adulthood. My only regret is that I was so busy catching up that I only took two or three photos before hand...

 Here is the picture of the rec center where my brother and I swam and life guarded

Our School crest and of course, our school fight song which we sang as cheerleaders before every game:

We are the Piedmont’s fighting clansmen,
Bold and bonny bunch!
We eat thistles for our breakfast,
Granite for our lunch,
Munch, munch, munch …

We are Piedmont’s fighting clansmen,
Come from Highlands brown …
So fight, Piedmont,
Fight till every foe is down!
