The State of (parental) Being

Weird title, I know. It was going to be a philosophy-esque type entry about Being.
Which is different from being... note the capitals...

Okay, nevermind!!! It's too late and I am still at work for this to actually make any sense, heck, I don't even think I make sense on a normal-ish day.

I just heard that a schoolmate of mine from University just had his baby daughter! Congrats SHK! I also remember attending their wedding which was just after ours.
Mr Gene and Gina Wee are also going to get a wee Wee soon! Sorry, couldn't help it.

Just tells you how life is quickly moving on. Just years ago, it was all about convocation ceremonies, meet ups at bars... then it was weddings, and meet ups in wine/whisky lounges. Now, its births, kiddies and meet ups over dinner!

Wha piang. That said. I refuse to give up my wine/whisky. And no, you're not going to catch us trotting on that particular, perculiar path of parenthood anytime soon.

Somehow, the stars have made it possible to meet a whole bunch of people from my previous lives all in the space of the two months since I got back from the US - Secondary school mates; JC mates; uni mates; ex-s; pple I met as a journo in my early years at the paper...
Why just in two months? When I went by for years without meeting them before that? I have no idea at all.

And it seems to me that life has really gone by. Whatever happened to my 20s?
Geez, and of course, you can also track the progression of life in your friends and what has happened to them since you last met.

Ah well.

Hey, on a strange note - fate again?: I interviewed the president CEO thanks TK! of Mayo Clinic today. The desk is so short of hands, and I decided that I would actually volunteer - joyous joy at the ability to get out of the office and do an interview again.
Am so desk bound these days its not funny. All meals are eaten in short order in front of the screen. Scary but true. I have an image of my bum becoming ginormous with all this sitting down. alluva sudden.. pfft! huge.

PS: Gene's doing his first call back home tonight. Note the date. Hurhur.

you mean CEO? dont think there's a president
Cortese?
