Exeter High School, my alma mater. Or however that expression goes, it is just a year under a decade that I graduated from you and moved on into the great blue yonder that is this world. You may be just graduating and moving on to college, the military or the civilian lifestyle, but before you know it, you too will be forced with the prospect of your 10 year high school reunion.

So enjoy it while you can, and hope that by the time your 10 Year Reunion rolls around, you'll have a sweet Porsche or BMW you can drive to said event and impress everyone from your highschool. That's what I'll be doing, renting a porsche. Nobody has to know I don't own it....and if the rental plates are from a different state, tell them you own a condo or house in that area. You'll be the king of the reunion! Now just so we're clear, it is never ok to rent, drive, or own a 4 door porsche. If it's an SUV (the Cayenne) that's one thing, but that new 4 door sedan they have is an abomination. So do yourself a favor when your reunion comes around, don't rent the 4 door Porsche Sedan. You'd hate to ruin your grand entrance with a travesty on 4 wheels.

Also, don't bother telling people you invented the Post-It. We've all seen the movie, we know you didn't do it. If you're going to lie about your profession make it something that's easily backed up. Investment banker, trust fund kid, Podiatrist. The easy stuff. If you say podiatrist get ready to look at some feet.

But I digress. It's the time for Celebration and Libation. Congratulations Exeter High School graduates. May the next 10 years of your life bring you happiness, success, and new friends and experiences.

Congratulations to the Local Exeter area graduates!

This weekend marks the Phillips Exeter Academy Graduation for the class of 2010! Soon to follow will be the Exeter High School Graduation. We here at the Fairfield Inn and Suites by Marriott in Exeter, NH would like to formally congratulate all of you on your hard work, dedication, and committment to success. We wish you all the best in life after highschool, whether it be Military, College, Peace Corps or straight to the work force!

Look at it this way, the best is yet to come. And as the fortune cookie that came with my chinese food tonight says "It is better to be the beak of a hen than the tail of an ox."
