Reunions

My Dad is off to his RMC (military college, kind of a Canadian West Point) reunion today. You know, he has always told me how much he hated being in the military; all the discipline was something he found opressive, meant to stifle his spirit and creativity.

But every time we went to Kingston as kids, he would take us to see RMC. And he gets totally into the RMC reunions and all their activities, and keeps in close touch with his classmates. In his book, the central character (whom I suspect to be based on himself) thinks that shared miseries lead to close bonds.

Masochism? I don't know. But he will have fun this weekend. Of that, I am sure. :-)
