An old school friend just put up a photo on facebook from a school trip taken when I was about 10 or so.
Apart from the shock of seeing kids I grew up with (And me) at that age, I was kinda shocked to think about what the 4 boys in the photo are all doing now: The tearway young baddun is now a partner in a law firm, the wee weedy kid is now a black belt in karate, the good look coolest kid in school became a heroin addict, came out of it and now is a rehab worker, and me who never went a holiday until I was 17 who's spent the last 20 years being a global gypsy.
Weird how you can look back and think I bet you absolutely none of us in that photo expected anything like that in our lives.
Just freeflowing down memory lane, no real point to make.
