How Many Years?

Last week I was invited to join a Facebook group for my 25th high school reunion. Let's just address the number 25 for a second, shall we?

And if you insist on standing there anyway, please don’t finger every god-damned drink that gets placed on the bar. You know your name and you know what your ordered.
