Please excuse Jason from his twenty year reunion (that may involve adult engaging conversation with people he dearly misses and the possibility of consuming a long overdue alcoholic beverage and possibly while playing golf followed by what appears to be an entertaining evening in my favorite metropolitan area in the Americas) as he is at war with the Taliban and will be until September(ish).
Please reference the following picture as proof of his status of nonavailability.

Dude. I hope you come home without a scratch. If need be, I'll drink enough for both of us.
Thanks friend. And good luck with the drinks. You'll have to wear a leisure suit with one of those stretchy waistbands to accommodate my portion of the volume. I think its powder blue - your leisure suit.
Dude, I miss the trampoline fights and being pulled on the hood of that old truck that we would jump start with my datson 510....With the cow from Calgary. Stay safe old friend, e-mail me brandlerich@hotmail.com
Jason,
I will miss seeing, but as I can see you do have other things to do. Good luck and I will miss seeing you there. Ever in Magrath, I live on the Farm I grew up on. Its actually great to be here in Magrath, because I live here, but don't have to really deal with Magrath crap, because I don't live in town. Kinda win - win. Hope everything goes well, and Dave can do the drinking and I will do your golfing, and try to throw in a couple of good combacks for you.

Thanx for taking my bait Jason - Michelle had told me where you were but I wanted you to contact "us" anyway. We will keep you in our hearts. Godspeed.
What's the "T." stand for again?
Rich, I miss those things too (Especially the Datsun). I don't remeber any cow though.
Tobi,
I do kinda miss the mental manipulation in a "jeeze I had creepy formative experiences but I relate to that kinda stuff" sorta way. But mostly I just miss you. I wonder why we don't talk, except through mutual acquaintances, but then again; no change for us, huh. Maybe we can work on that over the next 20 years. I mean if you want.
P.S.
Possibility
Todd
Angie,
Good to hear that you're happy. If one of us had the capacity to be happy in Magrath, it'd be you. I'm rarely in Magrath, but how weak is it of me to wait for a reunion to look you up. I can do better than that.
Jason - I would love to see you in powder blue leisure suit with a stiff drink. I miss you. Be safe. Love you ~
The Cow I refer to is the Dainard friend...the guy with the cowlick's in his hair. I barely remember him too, he would visit Kelly and Chris Dainard and some how ended up in some of the trampoline fights....unless that was my little friend when I had too much to drink???
Jason -
I never knew mental manipulation was my game back then, of all the plots I tried to mastermind i was only successful at one. Now it is all just sarcasm. I just hope that I am a little less self-absorbed now that I was then. Seeing your picture was a real gut jerker - esp with the weapon and desolate background. I almost fell off my chair. If I was trickier I would superimpose a powder blue suit onto that photo. That would be some good stuff. Maybe Dave can do that for us, being mr tricky media guy and all.
Tobi,
This is the stuff i miss about you. Our little exchange has been fun. I'm jealous that it may be my most substantive contribution to the reunion. sigh.
Everyone,
So, Kudos to Dave and the rest of the organizers - excellent idea. To the rest of you, my heart will be with you. Have a good time.
oh by the way, i've been keeping a journal blog of my experiences over here. If you're interested, you can go to http://jasonwilde.spaces.live.com
There are even a few pictures for Rich. You'll need to drop me an email before you can see anything (after twenty years any one of you could be in the taliban now and i don't want to be giving you any of my secrets without you asking first). You can get me at jasonwilde@hotmail.com. Then i'll give you the necessary permissions.
Anyway, take care all of you. i'll envision you all happy and celebratory (either naked or in blue leisure suits - with the stretchy waste bands) precisely as i always have.
Love jason.
Wish you and your family the best, I have alot of respect for you guys, your wives and your families. Keep yourself safe, our prayers are with you and your loved ones Jason. It nice to see your pic. and hear what you have been doing.
