Don't look up childhood friends, unless you're sure you want to know

5 boys from my grade are dead. (Graduated high school in '95, we’re all ~42ish now.) Cancer at 23, suicide at about the same age, sleeping pill overdose, two others for reasons unknown to me (but one of those two died on a Christmas Day, which seems ominous).

My high school crush now has an account at a swingers’ hook-up website and looks significantly less chirpy than she used to, to put it mildly.

The guy who tried to bribe me out of turning down a position as School Captain (student president, basically) runs his own solar electricity co. and was on the local council for a couple years.
