My ride: 1991 Chevrolet S10 Ext. Cab (AKA The White Knight). It was white with a blue interior, and had a custom rims and fat tires. It also had a 4.3L V6. Not quite the race car that I imagined it to be, but it could scoot.
My crew: Nathan, Andy, Charlie, Matt and Craig. We're all a little older, a little heavier, and some have less hair, but we still love hanging out together.
My income: While still enjoying the financial support of my parents, I did lawns and other odd jobs to put away some coin for $1.13 gasoline and fun stuff. (I actually made 33% more per hour back then than I did working the landscaping crew at seminary...with a college degree!)
My tunes: Collective Soul(check the playlist), Van Halen, Whitecross, and DC Talk. Still good stuff. Unfortunately, my Sony CD player would skip anytime I even drove close to a bump or pothole.
My classes: I loved Physics, hated Trigonometry, excelled in Composition and totally goofed off in Art and Speech. But at least I gave a speech. Would you like a Zero, Andy? "That's ok, I don't mind."
My Obsession: Football. I have been and will always be a Magnolia Panther at heart. Too bad we went 3-7.

amen! Good tunes. I'm unable to attend the reunion as well. But, I think fondly of our good times. In reality, for me, high school was more about the "gang" (including the girls--Lexi, Crissi, Larken, etc...) than anything else.
I love life today, but I'd live most of it over in a heart beat.

PS. when I got the Camaro, gas was $.85/gal. Here in Chicago today, it is $4.49 for regular unleaded.
What a fun trip down "memory lane"....I guess I"ll have to yell extra hard for #64 tonight at the game...
$ 1.13 a gallon gasoline??????

I love trips down memory lane! 98 was my first year in Magnolia. We had some pretty fun times 10 years ago... can it really have been 10 years ago?!? I think that summer was one of the absolute best summers of my life.
Douglas, I think this is the first comment I have left on your page. I do enjoy reading your posts, and I admit I have to go back and catch up on them from time to time. It is well worth it. You have always had a way with words. This post down memory lane was a great reminder about yesteryear. Like Charlie said it was about the "gang". Good times I'll always remember
