Didn't get out so much back then

Last weekend I went to my high school class reunion, the Illinois Mathematics and Science Academy charter class of 1989.  I had a great time!  It was very odd to visit the school and walk through the building I spent so much time in and feel the contrast between the parts that haven't been changed and the parts that have been completely remodeled

Around here we have pre-teens wandering around on a regular basis, and sometimes a kid who can't be more than eight drives by on his tiny little two-cycle motorcycle. So it does still happen.

But, yeah, our brains filter well for how we want to remember things. My elementary school was in a suburb, despite me remembering it being in the middle of a desolate deserted wasteland of dead farms and prairie.
