It was kind of like walking into a fun house where you recognize the core, but everything is distorted.  Must be how I looked to others, I&#8217;m sure, too. <\/p>\n<p>Most of the men were money managers.  Lots of women were home with their kids.  The women looked hot.  The men were balding and preppy.  But then, I guess preppy is now back in style.  The clique-y kids are still clique-y.  The math geeks are now math professors.  Plus c&#8217;est change, and all that.<\/p>\n<p>This is a pic (well, sort of) of me with my two besties, Busy Lane (yes, that&#8217;s really her name) and Kathy Chaitin.  Highlights included reunionizing with them, Ila Abramson, Molly Lane, Larry Goldstick, and Jill Oberman, who is now a sculptor; Sean Gourley, stay-at-home dad (who I *so* want to talk to for my next book!); Hetty Helfand (always loved that girl&#8217;s name); and Bob Emmanuel (who I walked down the isle with at graduation, lives in Wicker Park, is a lawyer, and collects art).  <\/p>\n<p>Tremendous kudos to the organizers, and to the folks who donated for the silent auction&#8211;including Christine Albrect who donated all the cool autographed stuff from her friend Gwen Stefani.  Hey, I know Jessica Valenti, and Dee Dee Myers emailed me last week.  Does that count?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last night I went to my 20th high school reunion.
